Gunmen suspected to be bandits on Tuesday killed three persons and kidnapped 18 others along Kaduna-Abuja highway.
An eyewitness told the Tribune Online that the hoodlums attacked the bus conveying the passengers close to the multi-million dollars Olam poultry company.
The source also said the hoodlums blocked the highway and ordered all passengers to alight from the bus.

He said, “however, some of the passengers were jittery and remained in the bus. This annoyed one of the gunmen who opened fire on the bus killing three of them in the process.
“The bodies of the deceased were abandoned on the highway.”
When contacted, the police image maker, DSP, Yakubu Sabo said the state command is yet to be briefed on the incident.
