It was yet another horror on the Abuja-Kaduna highway as bandits are reported to have abducted 22 villagers from some houses at Anguwar Maji, in Jere town along the Abuja-Kaduna Highway.
The latest attack which took place in the community that shares a boundary with Tafa-Sabon -Wuse in Niger State, occurred barely 24 hours after the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba, visited the highway.
Sharing the experience, a resident of Anguwar Maji, Shehu Bala told Daily Trust that the incident happened around 11:00pm on Sunday.
Bala said the bandits came in large numbers wielding AK-47 rifles and invaded some houses and made away with 22 residents, including five women.
According to him, “The bandits came in their large numbers as some of them wore army uniforms.
“They moved from house to house and woke their victims up before they marched them into the bush at gunpoint”
The villager further stated that the criminals operated unhindered, in the community for over an hour, and also shot sporadically to scare people from coming after them as they left the community.
Bala also stated that one of the kidnap victims escaped from his abductors while being led into the bush.
