EKO HOT BLOG reports that bandits terrorising Kaduna-Abuja road reportedly struck again on Friday evening and killed at least one traveller on the highway.
This is coming barely one month after the Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, Yekini Ayoku, assured all road users plying the Kaduna-Abuja highway that the road is safe for travelling and free from bandits.
According to POLITICS NIGERIA, a victim of the Kaduna-Abuja train bound attack Aleeyu Lawal will be buried today (Saturday).
Details of the attack which occurred on Friday evening are still sketchy, and it isn’t yet clear if there were other casualties.
However, the Kaduna Abuja expressway became a hotbed for kidnap-for-ransom by gunmen locally known as bandits.
Previous efforts by security agencies have failed to make the road completely safe for commuters and motorists.
As hundreds of travellers have been kidnapped on the 200-kilometre road to the country’s capital.
After the security threat on the road became intractable, many travellers switched to using the train service from Abuja to Kaduna.
