Three ABU law students, others abducted as Dankwambo’s convoy disperses bandits on Abuja-Kaduna road [Video]
Three final-year law students of the Ahmadu Bello University and four other travellers have been reportedly kidnapped along Abuja – Kaduna expressway, on Tuesday evening.
As of the time of filing this report, it was not clear whether the abductions took place at the same time a former Governor of Gombe State, Ibrahim Dankwambo’s convoy ran into the kidnappers along the Abuja-Kaduna highway.
The PUNCH reports that the security details of the former governor had to disperse the kidnappers operating along the highway when Dankwambo ran into them (kidnappers).
In a viral video, a woman, who was stranded among others on the highway, was pleading for help from the former governor’s convoy.
The convoy later cleared the way for other stranded motorists to follow.
But on Wednesday, a source who crave for anonymity revealed that no fewer than seven persons, including the ABU law students, were actually abducted on the Abuja – Kaduna highway on Tuesday.
According to the source, the incident occurred on Tuesday evening, noting, however, that no life was lost during the incident.
“There were seven kidnap cases including that of the three ABU students. There was no lost of lives. We are trailing the kidnappers,” said the source.
The police and the ABU authorities were yet to comment on the kidnapping as of the time of filing this report as there was no response to a call put on to them.
No fewer than eighteen persons had been kidnapped around the state in the past two weeks.
