BREAKING: Again, bandits block Kaduna-Abuja road, passengers stranded

Travelers on the ever-busy Kaduna-Abuja road were on Thursday stranded after bandits blocked the road.

The development is coming barely less than a week after bandits killed about eight passengers in an Abuja-Kaduna bound train.

The bandits also blocked the Abuja-Kaduna same days and kidnapped many passengers, IDOMA VOICE reports.

The latest attack was confirmed by former kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani.

He tweeted, “Just got a distress call that Bandits in large numbers have again blocked the Kaduna-Abuja road this afternoon. Travelers are speedily turning backwards.

“It’s now that security agents are “uncovering Bandits camps” and “Bombing Bandits targets”.And it’s called “eye service”.

“Bello Turji, Dogo Gide, Manjagara and Balleri are the topmost northern terror leaders who have been granting Radio and papers interviews in Our Hausa language, but remain illusive for authorities to arrest.I just don’t get it.
