 Dramatic Rescue: FCT Police Save Woman from Armed Robber and Ritualist in Abuja


ABUJA, NIGERIA - In a heart-stopping turn of events, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has successfully rescued a young woman from the clutches of a suspected armed robber and ritualist in Abuja. The dramatic rescue took place at a hotel in the bustling Wuse district, where the victim, Promise Eze, a 25-year-old from Ebonyi State, was found tied to a chair with her mouth covered in plaster.



A Chilling Encounter


The incident unfolded on January 31, 2025, when hotel staff alerted the police about suspicious activity in one of the rooms. Responding swiftly, police operatives arrived at the scene and discovered Eze in a dire state. She was unconscious and in distress, prompting officers to act immediately. They freed her from captivity and rushed her to Wuse District Hospital, where she regained consciousness.


Preliminary investigations revealed a chilling story of deception and violence. Eze had checked into the hotel the previous day with a man who introduced himself as Emmanuel Okoro from Lagos State. However, during questioning, she disclosed that she had met the suspect online, where he used the alias Michael Prince and claimed to be an oil company employee from Delta State. Initially, he invited her to Delta, but after she declined, they agreed to meet in Abuja.

What was supposed to be an innocent meeting turned into a harrowing ordeal. The suspect allegedly brandished a dagger, threatening and subduing Eze before restraining her by tying her hands and legs and taping her mouth shut inside the bathroom. He then fled the scene, stealing her two mobile phones. Before escaping, Eze overheard him speaking to suspected accomplices over the phone, informing them that he was on his way to regroup before returning to the hotel to "finish the job".


Recognizing the gravity of this heinous act, the FCT Police Command has launched a full-scale manhunt for the suspect. The Commissioner of Police, FCT, CP Olatunji Disu, psc, strongly condemned the act of violence and urged residents—especially young women—to exercise caution when meeting individuals they do not know personally. He reassured the public that the FCT Police Command remains unwavering in its commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all residents.



The police have appealed to the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities. They also advised individuals to be cautious, especially in isolated areas, to avoid falling victim to such attacks. The FCT Police Command is working tirelessly to ensure the immediate arrest of the suspect and bring him to justice.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers lurking in seemingly ordinary situations. The bravery and swift action of the FCT Police Command have undoubtedly saved a life, but the hunt for the suspect continues. The public's cooperation and vigilance are crucial in ensuring that such heinous acts do not go unpunished.
