FCT Police debunks false kidnapping alarm at Gbagalape Primary School

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has dismissed reports of a kidnapping at Phase 1 Primary School, Gbagalape, Abuja, as a false alarm that caused panic. A distress call on June 4, 2026, at about 10:30 a.m. prompted the deployment of officers. Investigations showed that pupils had shouted 'kidnappers,' leading to confusion. After thorough searches of the school and surrounding areas, no evidence of kidnapping, suspect, or victim was found. The police urged residents to remain calm and avoid spreading unverified reports.
