Armed bandits blocked the Gusau–Funtua highway in Zamfara and kidnapped an unspecified number of travellers.

Yusuf Tsafe, a commuter left stranded around the area, told Channels TV that the bandits stormed the highway in the early hours of Thursday, September 12, and mounted a roadblock around the Tazame axis of the road.

He said the bandits, numbering over a hundred, came riding on about 50 motorcycles, each carrying 3 persons. They then abducted an unspecified number of travellers.

He told Channels: “They entered the road around 7 am, and till around 9am, they were still there, we just parked by the roadside waiting for the military to clear the road, we are seeing the bandits taking people inside the bush.

“The military guntruck moved to the area earlier, we were just hearing gunshots, but they are yet to open the road. Till now, no vehicle has been allowed to pass.”

The spokesperson of the Zamfara State Police Command, ASP Yazid Abubakar, said additional troops have been deployed to the affected areas to clear the road.
