Six persons are feared dead as bandits attacked travellers on the Garaku/Gudi expressway in Nasarawa State on Wednesday night.

The incident occurred around Mararaban Arusu  at the Kokona Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, where scores of travelers were abducted and whisked away to unknown destination. 

According to an eyewitness, the gunmen also shot no less than six passengers who were later confirmed dead at a nearby hospital. 

The gunmen had shot on a heavy duty vehicle where it broke down and slowed the traffic on the expressway, before carrying out their operations amidst the heavy downpour. 

Efforts to reach the DPO of Garaku Division proved abortive at press time but security operatives had been deployed to the area to bring the situation under control and ensure safety of travellers and other road users.
