Suspected terrorists have abducted passengers along Maiduguri/Kano highway.
A Daily Trust report has that the insurgents struck between Garin Kuturu and Mannanari village near Auno, which is along Damaturu highway at about 5:50:pm on Monday.
They reportedly blocked the highway before forcefully taking away some passengers.
The incident left hundreds of travelers and commuters stranded on both ends of the ever-busy road.
They had to return to Benishek and Auno respectively, according to Daily Trust.
“There was an incident between Mannanari and Garin Kuturu where some Boko Haram fighters came out to block the upcoming vehicles and some passengers were abducted,” a source was quoted as saying.
“We are not sure of the number as we speak but certainly there was an abduction on Monday evening.”
