Unknown gunmen on Wednesday abducted 30 passengers at Garin Gabas in Rafi local government area of Niger State.
They were abducted from three vehicles which include an 18- seater bus and two other ones.
According to reports, the gunmen barricaded the Zungeru-Garun Gabas highway and stopped the vehicles which unfortunately arrived while they were there.
The bandits in their large number carrying dangerous weapons stormed Zungeru Garin Gabas highway shooting sporadically to scare villagers before kidnapping the passengers to an unknown destination.
A source from the community who spoke in Hausa through a phone conversation said that the bandits have now advanced to Kundu forest in Rafi local government council area to rustle some cattle.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Wasiu Abiodun promised to give details later.
