Several persons were killed and others abducted yesterday afternoon when terrorists attacked motorists on the Funtua-Gusau Highway in Zamfara
A former member of the House of Representatives, Kabiru Yahaya, was among those injured, according to his media aide, Musbahu Aliyu, who told Premium Times that the attackers blocked the highway between Kucheri–Magazu in Tsafe Local Government around 3:30 p.m.
“The terrorists timed the arrival of vehicles to and from Gusau and started to shoot indiscriminately which led to the blockage of the road,” he said.
He said his boss was the only one taken to Tsafe General Hospital alive.
