Bandits yesterday morning took over the Tegina – Minna road in the Rafi Local government of Niger State, and kidnapped no fewer than 18 people.
The 18 kidnapped people, according to an eyewitness, were travelling in three commercial vehicles when they ran into the blockade by the bandits at Kundu town a few kilometres from Zungeru town.
Kundu was the place 42 passengers travelling in the Niger State Transport Authority (NSTA) vehicle over three weeks ago were kidnapped.
The state government later secured the release of the commuters eight days after their abduction.
The passengers in the three vehicles were abducted and taken to unknown destination while the vehicles were left by the roadside.
