BREAKING: Again, gunmen strike on Abuja-Kaduna highway, kidnap over 20 persons
No fewer than 20 persons have been allegedly kidnapped by gunmen along the Abuja-Kaduna highway on Monday.
The abduction is coming barely 24 hours after gunmen killed unspecified number of passengers, including a popular Zamfara politician, Sagir Hamidu.
It gathered that the kidnappers returned to the highway at about 4:30pm on Monday, and opened fire on motorists, Daily Nigerian reports.
Sources said the incident occurred less than five kilometers away from the point the assailants operated on Sunday.
Lawan Sani, a witness who plied the road immediately after the incident said he saw at least four abandoned vehicles with shattered windshields and flat tyres.
“There was serious commotion and panic around the area. Soldiers arrived at the scene almost immediately but the bandits briskly finished the operation within minutes and disappeared into the bush with many people.”
