According to him, they were approaching Kurmin Kare, close to Katari, when suddenly, he started hearing gunshots.
“I was going to Abuja to visit a friend who promised to give me a contract. Between Kurmin Kare, I started hearing gunshots, but didn’t know the direction. I then summoned courage to move, but this time, I was driving slowly to get the direction of the gunshots.
“After a bend, close to Katari, I saw so many vehicles parked, I reversed until I escaped,” he said.
According to him, while he was returning to Kaduna, he saw a convoy of security personnel, but the bandits had already left with the victims into the bush.
