Three armed men have reportedly abducted a 52-year-old Turkish national, Erdogan Guler, and one other yet-to-be-identified man in the Kubwa area of Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
It was gathered that the incident happened around 7pm on Wednesday, May 3, 2023, and was reported to the Byazhin Police Division, Abuja.
According to a police source, the men were whisked away at Guler’s residence Leaner Estate, Brickcity, Kubwa.

Additionally, the impeccable source stated that there is a possibility that Guler’s abductors are working with an informant privy to his whereabouts.

He added that the kidnappers have not contacted anyone to demand a ransom or make their reasons known.
