It was a black Christmas Wednesday as about 70 traders traveling to Kano from Kaduna State have been abducted along the dreaded Birnin Gwari-Kaduna road .

The traders’ convoy according to local sources, was attached by a number of bandits in the morning, who later took them away into the forests.

There is no reaction from the police in Kaduna on the incident, yet.

A local, Malam Umaru said the traders were travelling in a convoy of over 20 vehicles with police escort.

According to him,the bandits struck at a bend near Udawa after Buruku, abducted not fewer than 70 traders from Umaru’s community and scores of others from neighboring villages .

He said in Hausa language that calls on the phone of some of the missing traders, were answered by the bandits, a development that confirmed the about a hundred traders were in captivity.
