According to reports, some of the traders who fled into the bush called their relatives to inform them of the situation.

Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, Governor of Kaduna, paid a visit to President Mohammad Buhari on Tuesday to discuss the security situation.

He told the state House Correspondent that there is no such thing as repentant bandits and that the state's policy is to send terrorists who attack innocent people to their creator to answer for their crimes against humanity.

ASP Jalige Mohammed, Public Relations Officer for the State Police Command, promised to comment on the incident once more details were obtained.

 

Suspected bandits attacked a convoy of more than ten motorists and kidnapped dozens of passengers on the Kaduna-Birnin Gwari Highway.

A resident who spoke on the condition of anonymity told DAILY POST in Kaduna on Wednesday that bandits kidnapped scores of travelers and attacked several motorists.

This occurred less than 12 hours after bandits attacked the Angwar Gimbiya community in Sabon Tasha, Chikun LGA, Kaduna, and abducted scores of residents.

According to him, the majority of the victims of kidnappers were traders on their way to Kano.

He went on to say that approximately 18 vehicles, led by a police escort, were attacked. "We have about 70 of our traders from Udawa town alone, and there are others from neighboring towns in the convoy that was attacked between Udawa and Buruku along the highway," he said. He stated
