Though , no live was lost, several policemen sustained gunshot wounds and were rushed to a nearby health facility.

A commercial driver who plies the route said three Sharon vehicles,loaded with passengers, were driven away by the kidnappers.

Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Niger State Command, SP Wasiu A. Abiodun, said a police patrol vehicle was riddled with bullets during the exchange of gunfire.

“Some passengers were abducted from three vehicles along the Zugurma–Ibbi–New Bussa road.
