The Kaduna State government has denied media reports on the abduction of travelers along the Kaduna-Abuja highway last Thursday.
The government said there was no such incident on that day as reported by some news platforms.
The Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan alongside the Police Commissioner, Umar Musa Muri and Operation Thunder Strike Sector Commander, Colonel Ibrahim Gambari, led journalists to the location where the said abduction was said to have taken place to interact with residents of the area.
Also speaking, the Sector Commander, Operation Thunder Strike, Colonel Gambari, described the reports as fake news being spread by mischief makers, saying the Abuja-Kaduna highway is very safe to ply.
