About 70 traders travelling to Kano have been reportedly abducted along the Birnin Gwari-Kaduna road on Wednesday, December 22, 2021.
It was gathered that the traders were attacked by a number of bandits in the morning, and were forcefully taken away into the forests.
A local, Malam Umaru told newsmen that the traders were travelling in a convoy of over 20 vehicles with police escort.
According to him, the bandits struck at a bend near Udawa after Buruku, abducted not fewer than 70 traders from Umaru’s community and scores of others from neighbouring villages.
He said in Hausa language that calls on the phone of some of the missing traders, were answered by the bandits, a development that confirmed the traders were in captivity.
