There was pandemonium in Wuse 2 area of Abuja as armed robbers numbering about 30 invaded a compound of about 15 flats located at Agadez Crescent, Wuse 2, Abuja, at the early hours of Friday and successfully robbed about 10 flats.

An eye witness indicated that the robbers invaded the compound at about 2:30am and operated for several hours uninterrupted.

She said: “Aside phones, cash and lots of household items that they took, some of the residents were injured by the armed robbers. A man who was supposed to travel to the United States on Friday night was stabbed after he was dispossessed of 10, 000 dollars that he was supposed to travel with.

“When the stabbed man pretended to had died, they dragged him towards the gate and abandoned him there and continued their operations. Immediately, the man regained energy and strength, and saw that they had left him, he rushed out to seek for help from armed soldiers attached to a nearby house that is said to be the resident of a former Army Chief but the soldiers didn’t respond.

“With blood gushing out from the stabbed area, he rushed to a commercial bank located at the adjecent former Estacy lounge to get the attention of the mobile policemen attached to the bank, but he was disappointed as the expected help never came. He was then forced to return home to his fate.

“Our joy was that no one was kidnapped. It would have been more traumatic and devastating. We for no de talk am like this.”

Another neighbor who pleaded anonymity said that armed robbery attacks have become frequent in Agadez Crescent, Wuse 2, Abuja, as many compounds have been attacked repeatedly in the last two years.

She said: “Our compound that is close to the one attacked on Friday has been attacked three times in the last two years. They boys come from the backyard through the bushes and canal that connect to City Park garden and return through same route. My concern is that these guys operate freely and return to their enclave waiting for another opportunity to unleash terror on the people.”

The eye witnesses, however, confirmed that team of Policemen showed up later after the armed robbers had left with what they collected. “When the Policemen came, they shot at the air, possibly, to scare away the armed robbers. Few household items were, however, retrieved on the route they used out. It’s a traumatic experience for us here.

“If these boys can boldly and confidently invade houses in Wuse 2, Abuja, that is believed to be the heart of Abuja and secured, and robbed successfully for several hours, then the fate of people in suburbs is only left in the Hands of God.”

When ed, FCT Police Public Relations Officer Josephine Adeh, confirmed the robbery attack but also confirmed that all the items stolen were recovered.

She said: “Police mobilized immediately they got the distress call. They gave the robbers hot chase which made them to drop all they stolen.”

Let me guess , they called the "head" of cows in Abuja for help ? Dumb fools , go get guns and lots of bullets

There was a time people in Abuja dey always talk say Abuja safe Lagos

Everything don change now

Abuja in the early 2000 had few people in it, it was so peaceful. I can't believe Abuja will turn out this way.

Everywhere don gas.

Insecurity is securing our dear country from the center,

Is Nigeria this unsafe because an Igbo man is the president?

Is Abuja under series of attacks because an Igbo man is the president?

I don't have much to say but whatever is going on in Nigeria today everybody is feeling the heat of it!

If you guys like vote APC or PDP again!

Wuse na still big man place for Abuja

For bandits to be going house to house raiding everyday without the security curbing them

Yet Apc expect to win FCT because na jazz dem wan use abi?

Conducted by ex kuje prison tenants ............

One needs to arm himself, cos no we're is safe... Na self-defense things na

Na everybody dey face hin own for Naija now, may God keep protecting us

WUSE 2 of all places

Firstly, I think the family has failed the nation. If peoples grand parents and their parents raised them up with strict discipline and how to live upright and imbibe good moral and social values into their kids, these decays won’t happen.

Next, I blame socio-cultural, traditional, religious and academic institutions. If these institutions really frowns at crime and living ostentatious lifestyles and stop glorifying riches and property acquisition without asking and searching for the source of these wealth and flashy lifestyle, this won’t be happening. The society we live in celebrates ill gotten wealth.

I also blame our correctional facilities. Our correctional institutions are reactive and not proactive. Why is NATIONAL ORIENTATION AGENCY still existing if good societal norms and values have been so eroded away?

Must the police, FRSC, NSCDC, NCS, prisons only arrest and detain and prosecute and imprison? What happens to going to neighborhoods, preaching the negative effects of crime and criminalities? What happens to putting in place structures to actually prevent crimes from happening rather than wait for the crime to be perpetuated then swing into action?

I blame our democratic processes and electoral and leadership processes. We are only about our own selfish gain, we have strong men and strong parties rather than strong institutions. Most of the elected leaders have questionable past records and even present records and nothing is done about it. Ill gotten wealth, mediocrity and flamboyance are celebrated and truth, honesty and righteousness is trumped.

I weep for our society and our future generation!!

Wuse 2 o

Na your party turn Abuja to what it is now

A den for daily robbery

They dropped all the items they stole abi? Including the 10k Dollars?

And hundreds of armed robbers, rapists scammers, kidnappers, bandits, Boko Haram have been released into the wild this same week. If the Authorities are concerned about security these unfortunate incident and jail breaks won't be happening.
Yet they will be preaching that people should not do jungle justice if things like this are happening.

Abuja again

The Sapa go soon touch everybody, because last last na everybody go chop breakfast.

We can't continue like this. We just can't!

After all we've been through the past 7 years, a candidate had the temerity to tell Nigerians he will continue from where Buhari stopped if elected. God forbid!

Nigerians need to vote wisely.

This is serious..Wuse in Abuja can be compared to the Victoria Island, Lagos. If this can happen in Wuse. Then it is over. Let's us all vote the right party. let's try to get it right...when the yawa go come, e go touch everyone. If u go buy fuel, u will pay general price. Not APC price. As the thieves came in, they didn't differentiate between those who voted for Buhari or who didn't. Pls let's take Nigeria back

Our internal security systems are worsening geometrically.

Even in the heart of Abuja?

Why do I get the feeling the jail break and this robbery are all connected
