The Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, has impounded 40 vehicles and 52 Motorcycles, as it pounds Kpaduma 111 and Kobi Forest, a notorious “One Chance” hideout for kidnappers and bandits in Abuja.
The operation followed a recent violent incident that claimed the life of a vigilante.
During the operation the gunmen reportedly used two female victims as human shields to escape, while the operatives engaged them in a fierce chase, which successfully rescued the two victims unharmed.
Daybreak recalls that on September 15, 2025, there was a shootout involving police operatives and suspected kidnappers along Kobi Village Road in Kpaduma III.
The Director, Department of Development Control, Mukhtar Galadima, who led the cleaning exercise said that the aim is to eliminate what authorities termed as “ungoverned space” used as a hideout and transit route for criminals terrorizing residents in surrounding communities the capital city.
