BANDITS reportedly blocked the Sokoto-Gusau Road and kidnapped passengers in three buses belonging to the State Transport Authority.
According to the Punch, a motorist, Alhaji Mohammed Yusuf, who narrowly escaped the abduction, said that the bandits blocked the road near Dogon Karfe around 3pm and kidnapped all the passengers in the three buses.
Yusuf stated, “They (bandits) suddenly came out of their hiding place and started shooting in the air, thereby forcing the vehicles to stop.
“They abducted all the passengers in the three vehicles belonging to the Sokoto State Transport Authority, as well as the drivers.”
Yusuf added that when the bandits disappeared into the bush with the victims, the other motorists, including himself, drove as fast as they could out of the scene in case the hoodlums returned to abduct them.
“Immediately they left the place, we all drove our vehicles very fast, because we thought that they would come back and pick some of us,” he added.
