Again, Bandits Strike On Abuja-Kaduna Highway, Abduct 18-Seater Bus Passengers

Barely hours after Sunday’s attack by bandits on the Abuja-Kaduna Highway, the bandits reportedly stuck again on Monday and abducted an unspecified number of travellers on the ever-busy highway.

“We saw at least 4 vehicles with broken windshields and damaged tyres abandoned near the highway. The bandits attacked at about 4.30 pm,” a lucky traveller has said.

“They shot at the travellers, at a place, not more than 5 km from where they abducted people on Sunday. People were running helter-skelter, although security agents came to the scene, the bandits had already gone away into the bush with many travellers.”

“A whole bus, 18-seater from Zamfara was left empty. Also, a Toyota and other vehicles I saw were hit with bullets, and left without occupants,” he said.

Official reaction from either the police or the Kaduna State government on this attack was still being awaited.– Vanguard News
