At least 30 travellers have been kidnapped by armed bandits at Garun-Gabason in Rafi Local Government Council of Niger State. The victims were abducted along the Zungeru-Garin-Gabas highway in three separate vehicles. The victims were travelling in an 18-seater bus and two other vehicles when they ran into the gunmen. The bandits blocked the road shooting sporadically into the air to scare villagers who scampered to various directions before whisking the passengers away to an unknown location.
