Suspected armed bandits on Sunday blocked the Abuja-Kaduna road, abducting an unknown number of travelers.
Some persons who escaped the abduction said the armed bandits blocked the road at Katari village at about 2 pm and operated for more than an hour.
It was also reported that the gunmen during the attack shot Sagir Hamida when they opened fire on travelers. Sagir Hamida was a one-time governorship aspirant under the platform of the All Progressive Congress APC in Zamfara State. He contested for the number one political seat in Zamfara during the 2019 General Elections.
