The carnage greatly saddened the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, who has expressed shock and consoled with the brereaved families and people of the state.
The governor said: “We were shocked with the bad news of the death of 16 Dambatta indigenes on Abuja-Kaduna highway, they were travelling from Abuja to Kano, and were killed during an attack from unidentified gunmen. The news is devastating and frustrating.
“May Allah accept their martyrdom and may He punish all the perpetrators of this heinous act. There is nothing more shocking than this.”
