Bandits have abducted five traders who are residents of Dogon Ruwa community in Bashar district of Wase Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The abduction occured after the bandits attack on Monday morning, the market day, when there was an influx of traders and buyers from neighbouring communities conducting business activities.
According to residents who managed to escape the onslaught, the invaders came in large numbers on motorcycles at the peak of business transactions.
They shot sporadically as traders and residents scampered to safety, forcing people to flee the market and their homes.
The bandits burgled and looted some shops and business centres, carting away large quantities of food items, consumables, and medicines during the attack
