Several persons have been kidnapped along the Abuja-Kaduna expressway on Tuesday after bandits attacked and took over the route for over an hour.

A source told BBC Hausa that the incident occurred at Katari town around 4:30pm.

According to the source, many empty vehicles were sighted by either sides of the road, signifying that the occupants were either abducted or had fled into the bush.
