Police confirm mass abduction on highway
The police in Katsina state have confirmed the mass abduction of travellers on the Katsina/Jibia Highway in Katsina State on Wednesday. The incident reportedly took place at about 5pm.
PUNCH is reporting that Gambo Isah, the spokesperson for the Katsina police command, confirmed the incident.
“Yes, it is true but give me time to find out the actual numbers of those kidnapped as not all the passengers were kidnapped,” Gambo reportedly said.
The terrorists are said to have arrived at the highway on motorcycles, and thereafter standing in the middle of the road while shooting indiscriminately.
The assailants swooped on fear-striken passengers of two vehicles, taking them into captivity.
‘Law enforcement officers arrived the scene after the exit of the terrorists,’ the report stated.
