The Birnin Gwari Kaduna highway has over the years become dangerous with series of abductions taking place on the road.
Several passengers were feared abducted Tuesday morning after bandits attacked motorists on Birnin Gwari Kaduna highway.
Gallant Military Info gathered that Bandits kidnapped a number of students and other travelers in the early hours of Tuesday, the 31st day of May, 2022, along the notorious Birnin Gwari Kaduna highway in Kaduna State.
The bandits also set fire on eight vehicles transporting the student to their examination for admission into the School of Health at Makarfi, scheduled for Kaduna State University.
