Bandits laid an ambush on the ever-busy Abuja-Kaduna road on
Sunday, abducting an unknown number of travellers.
Those who escaped said the gunmen blocked the road at Katari
village at about 2 pm, operating for more than an hour.
One of them told PRNigeria that they had to turn back due to
the repeated sounds of gunshots.
The citizen recalled that drivers had to park some
kilometres away from the scene.
They resumed their journey after vehicular movement resumed
on the other side of the highway.
“Many travellers must have been kidnapped or escaped into
the bush.
“We saw at least fifteen cars parked and empty when we
passed the scene of the attack,” he disclosed.
Police spokesman, Mohammed Jalige was unreachable when DAILY
POST called his line on Sunday night.
Katari has witnessed several attacks and kidnapping
incidents in recent months.
In September, Emir Hassan Atto of Bungudu in Zamfara was
taken away; a police officer attached to him was killed.
The monarch, a former Secretary to Zamfara Government, was
freed after one month in captivity.
