FCT Police Dismiss Kidnapping Alarm at Abuja School

The FCT Police Command issued a statement on June 4, 2026, addressing a false alarm regarding a kidnapping incident at Gbagalape Primary School in Abuja. The command, led by spokesperson Josephine Adeh, reported that a distress call was received at 10:30 AM, prompting immediate deployment of security personnel to the area.

Upon arrival, police found that the panic was triggered by students shouting "kidnap," which led to confusion among students and staff. A comprehensive search of the school premises and surrounding areas, including nearby hills, was conducted, but no evidence of a kidnapping was found, and no suspects or victims were identified.

The police urged residents to remain calm and avoid spreading unverified reports that could incite fear and tension. They advised the public to report any suspicious activities to the nearest police station using emergency lines 08032003913 and 07057337653.
