The police in the Federal Capital Territory are searching for the identity of a teenage boy suspected to have been a victim of a hit-and-run accident.
The yet-to-be-identified victim, believed to be between 12 and 15 years old, was reportedly knocked down by a vehicle around the Apo Roundabout tranformer, where he was later found unconscious by good Samaritans before being rushed to a hospital in the Apo Resettlement area.
The FCT Police Command, in a statement by its spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, urged members of the public to provide useful information that could help trace the victim’s family or guardian.
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.
