The siblings were abducted during the wee hours of Wednesday in Pegi village along Kuje Area Council, police said in a statement sent to Peoples Gazette.
The police said they deployed a heavy detachment of personnel and equipment to rescue the five persons kidnapped in the wee hours of November in a village along the Pegi axis.
According to a Daily Trust report, the siblings, between nine and 22 years, were kidnapped around 11:00 p.m. on Monday when an unconfirmed number of gunmen invaded their residence in an estate.
