The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command averted what could have been a devastating abduction in Guto village, Bwari Area Council, following a rapid and coordinated response to a late-night attack on 20th November 2025.
At about 01:10 a.m., officers sprang into action after receiving an urgent alert that a group of armed men—estimated at around 30—had stormed the community, targeting a resident and his family.
A swift deployment by the Bwari Division’s Surveillance Team, reinforced by the IGP Special Intervention Squad (SIS), met the attackers head-on. The armed group opened fire upon sighting the police, prompting a fierce exchange of gunfire. In the confrontation, two assailants were neutralized, while the rest escaped into the nearby hills and bushes.
