that was escorting the traders was not ascertained at press time.
Reaction from the police in Kaduna on the incident was still being awaited, as the Police spokesman, ASP Mohammed Jalige, could not be reached on the telephone. He said the bandits struck at a bend near Udawa after Buruku, abducted no fewer than 70 traders from the community and scores of others from neighbouring villages.
The Kaduna State Police Command told The Guardian that it will make an official statement on the incident, as Jalige confirmed the incident, but declined to give details or the exact figure of the victims, saying he would give details of the attack when he gets to the office.
