Terrorists have killed no fewer than three persons and abducted scores of passengers on the Katsina-Jibia Road in Katsina State.
It was gathered that the gunmen also shot many people during the attack which occurred on Sunday.
The incident was said to have occurred after the terrorists opened fire on a commercial bus belonging to the Katsina State Transport Authority (KSTA) and other vehicles plying the road.
An eyewitness, who craved anonymity, disclosed that the assailants also stormed a village, Farun Bala, where they also rustled cows and carted away other items belonging to the locals.
“The gunmen blocked the Katsina-Jibia road when they commenced operation, and vehicles plying the road were forced to stop.
“It happened on Jibia weekly market day which usually makes the road very busy,” the source said.
The source further revealed that the Katsina-Jibia Road has at least 20 security checkpoints, including those of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and the police.
Meanwhile, the Katsina State Police Command had yet to react to the incident as of the time of filing this report.
