Bandits on Sunday attacked the Kaduna-Abuja highway, killing a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Sagir Hamidu and whisking away several people.
Hamidu, who was a former director of Protocol in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and the Founder/CEO of FAMAKS British Schools, recently ran for the governorship position in Zamfara State and is said to intend to contest again for the office in 2023.
According to witnesses, the attack which happened around 2pm lasted for over one hour, and the gunmen kidnapped many travellers and carted away some valuables they could instantly lay their hands on.
There is no official information yet by the police regarding the incidence.
