RESIDENTS of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, are living in palpable fear as kidnappers now operate freely without hindrance from security operatives.
Around midnight on Thursday, four gunmen scaled the fence to the house of a journalist with Punch Newspapers, Mr Okechukwu Nnodim, in Abuja, shooting sporadically into the air.
After Nnodim told them that he had no money at home, they led him away along with two young children of his widow-neighbour, a teenager and another in his early 20s.
Nnodim and his neighbours live along Arab Road in Kubwa.
Twenty-four hours later, the kidnappers contacted the sister of the journalist who lives in Lagos and asked for a ransom of N10 million. They gave 1.00 p.m. on Friday as deadline for the payment.

Alheri community, on the Abuja-Kogi expressway, is one of the few remaining clusters of people suffering from leprosy in Nigeria.
Located inside Yangoji Village, Kwali Area Council in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Alheri is home to about 2,000 people, primarily made up of leprosy infected persons and their families.
The settlement was originally launched with 90 apartments built by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) in 2006. About 50 more apartments have been added since then through initiatives such as the World Bank and the Leprosy Mission Nigeria partnership. The settlement has a primary school, a clinic and few other basic amenities.
