Terrorists have kidnapped students and other travelers along the Birnin-Gwari highway in Kaduna State.
The bandits, who carried out the act on Tuesday, also burnt eight vehicles conveying students to their examination for admission into the School of Health at Makarfi, scheduled for Kaduna State University.
According to a statement issued by the Public Relations Officer of the Birnin Gwari Emirate Progressive Union, Idris Saidu, the bandits laid siege on three different locations on the highway, forcing motorists to make u-turn.
Those who were unlucky fell into the trap set by the bandits and were subsequently abducted.
Saidu said, “Scores of travellers and students who were to write examinations for admission into School of Health, Makarfi, affiliated to Kaduna State university were abducted.
“One of our officials, Abubakar Haruna Babajo, who escaped, said eight vehicles were set ablaze by the bandits after abducting all the passengers and they were able to escape by Allah’s Will.”
