In a tragic development, the spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, has confirmed the kidnap of over 30 people on the Abuja-Kaduna expressway.
Media reports had earlier detailed that no fewer than 30 travellers were on Sunday kidnapped along the Abuja-Kaduna highway.
Corroborating the report, former Kaduna lawmaker, Shehu Sani, said a group of terrorists on Sunday blocked the Abuja-Kaduna Expressway and abducted scores of passengers.
However, confirming the development in a tweet on Thursday, Adejobi disclosed that the IGP, Kayode Egbetokun, had taken action to see that the kidnapped victims were rescued.
The police spokesman detailed that the IGP had ordered the DIG Operations, Ayuba Edeh to deploy men and assets strategically to the region.
