Armed men suspected to be kidnappers attacked commuters along the Nasarawa-Keffi Road on Sunday evening, shooting sporadically and forcing vehicles to halt.

The incident occurred on Sunday at about 8:15 p.m. between Gunki and Marmara, where several vehicles were blocked by the attackers.

Two passengers, identified as Sunday Uche and Mohammed Babawuro, who were aboard a Toyota Hiace Bus with registration number FKY 728 ZA, were rescued after fleeing into nearby bushes along with other passengers who have since been accounted for.

However, concern mounts over the whereabouts of one Adoga Gupada Aruwa, believed to be a staff member of the Code of Conduct Bureau. Aruwa was reportedly driving a Toyota Highlander which was found at the scene with a bullet hole on its engine compartment but no blood stains.

Search and rescue operations are ongoing to locate the missing occupant Authorities have urged residents with useful information to come forward.
