Armed men have abducted a passenger from a commercial vehicle along the Katsina-Ala–Takum road, Benue State.
Zagazola Makama gathered that the incident occurred at about 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 8, 2025, when the Toyota Carina II, with registration number KLD 108 AA, was heading to Katsina-Ala from Takum, Taraba State, with seven passengers onboard.
At Tsede Village, which lies on the boundary between Katsina-Ala and Takum, the gunmen blocked the road, robbed the occupants, and whisked away one passenger later identified as NYSC member Saadu Dauda from Zamfara State.
His identity was confirmed through a corps member ID card found in his bag left in the vehicle.
Security operatives have launched a coordinated operation to track the assailants and rescue the victim.
