The attack occurred at Kofar Gayan on the outskirt of Zaria.
It was learnt that the gunmen struck around 8pm, shooting sporadically at vehicles in order to immobilise them and abduct the passengers.
Witnesses noted that the attackers had taken many travellers into the bush before the arrival of security agents.
“They kidnapped many travellers, some fled, while others who were shot at. It will be difficult to determine the number of those killed or abducted,” said a witness.
Another witness said one Sani Dogara was shot dead by the terrorists.
