Again, gunmen kidnap several passengers along Abuja-Kaduna Highway

Dare-devil gunmen, again, struck along the Abuja-Kaduna Highway, on Tuesday, kidnapping several travelers.

It was gathered that the kidnappers ambushed the vehicles conveying the travelers before they carried out their dastardly act.

Kaduna Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Muhammad Jalige, could not be reached for confirmation as at time of filing this report.

But sources said the gunmen shot at some passengers during the attack.

A source in Rijana told said that the incident happened around 4:30pm, on Tuesday.

The source said many empty vehicles were seen on either sides of the road, signifying that the occupants were either abducted or had fled into the bush.

He, however, said the security agents arrived at the scene few minutes after the attack.

The source said, “The incident happened 4:30pm. They shot sporadically at vehicles and that forced the vehicles to stop.

“When they forced the vehicles to stop, they then picked the passengers and immediately whisked them away and abandoned those that sustained gunshot injuries.”
