Bandits attack Gusau-Zaria expressway, kidnap travelers

On Monday, bandits intercepted the Gusau-Zaria Expressway, abducting an unspecified number of travelers.

The attackers blocked the road for about 30 minutes, firing shots indiscriminately near Magazu village in Tsafe Local Government Area, Zamfara State.

According to reports, the Nigerian Army Quick Response team responded to distress calls with four trucks and engaged the bandits, who subsequently fled into the bush with some victims. A motorist who escaped described the bandits as being in large numbers.

Since the onset of the farming season, there have been daily incidents of roadblocks, attacks, and kidnappings by bandits targeting farmers. As of now, there is no official statement from military or police authorities regarding any neutralization of the bandits.
