“I have not gotten all the details,” Hwande told TheCable via telephone.
“They said he was kidnapped at his residence. The authorities are more concerned about preventing the bandits from going into town. They are not doing us justice.
“I think the banidts have opened a line of communication and the police are on it.”
Josephine Adeh, spokesperson of the FCT police command, failed to respond to calls and a text message sent to her by TheCable.
