The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has appealed to members of the public to assist in identifying a teenage boy believed to have been knocked down in a hit-and-run accident in Abuja.
The victim, estimated to be between 12 and 15 years old, was reportedly hit by a vehicle near the Apo Roundabout transformer and left unconscious at the scene.
He was later discovered by two Good Samaritans, identified as Mr. Naziru Ibrahim and Mr. Ibrahim Mohammed, who promptly conveyed him to Sahad Hospital in the Apo Resettlement area for medical attention.
In a statement issued on Friday, the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, said the Command urgently requires information that could help trace the boy’s identity and reunite him with his family.
According to the statement, “On 10th December 2025, the attention of the FCT Police Command was drawn to a suspected hit-and-run incident involving a young male, estimated to be between 12 and 15 years old, whose identity remains unknown.”
