Unknown gunmen on Saturday attacked vans carrying travellers, shortly after arriving Rigasa railway station from Abuja, injuring some of them and kidnapped several others.

It was gathered that the attack occurred along the road linking Airport Road from the railway station at about 8pm.

A related attack occurred on Friday at about the same time on the same road, after passengers left the train station heading to their homes in Kaduna and other places.

Already, some families of those kidnapped have been contacted by the kidnappers, who are  demanding twenty-million naira as ransom. One of those shot by the kidnappers is currently in critical condition at the 44 Army Reference Hospital, Kaduna, and receiving treatment.

The Kaduna State Police Command is yet to confirm the incident.
