By Ibrahim HassanWuyo
Contrary to claims that many were killed by bandits in an attack by bandits along Kaduna-Abuja road, the state government has said that 2 people were killed in the attack.
The Kaduna State Government,however, said it was grateful for the operational feedback it received from the military on the successful rescue of nine persons on Sunday after their kidnapping, on the Akilubu-Gidan Busa axis of Kaduna-Abuja Road.
