Bandits have abducted some chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC) along the Kaduna-Kachia highway in Kaduna State.
It was gathered that the APC team was returning from Kafanchan after a political meeting with Christian leaders in the Southern Senatorial District.
According to Daily Trust, a politician, who escaped the attack, said the bandits opened fire sporadically on about five vehicles.
He added that the terrorists abducted two people while some sustained gun injuries.
The Kaduna governorship candidate, Senator Uba Sani, was said to have travelled to Abuja from Kafanchan.
It was gathered that the governorship candidate Campaign DG, Sani Maina, Ahmed Maiyaki, a Chieftain of the party, and a few others escaped unhurt.
The APC House of Assembly Candidate in Kajuru, simply identified as Mr Madaki and the Vice chairman of APC in Kajuru Local Government Area, Ruben Waziri, were among those abducted during the attack.
A relative of the Vice Chairman, Ben Maigari, who confirmed the incident said the bandits are yet to contact them.
“They were attacked; the bandits blocked the road and opened fire on the entourage and other moving vehicles. My brother, Ruben, was abducted alongside Madaki because they were in the same vehicle,” he said.
Daily Trust reported that the bandits also attacked two other buses around the same time, with two people feared killed while others were taken into the forest.
When contacted, the State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Mohammed Jalige, promised to call back after getting details of the incident, but he had not done so at the time of filing this report.
