A woman kidnapped by suspected armed robbers along the Kassa–Barkin Ladi highway in Plateau State has escaped and is receiving treatment for minor injuries.
The woman was abducted on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, after suspected armed robbers blocked the highway with stones and stopped vehicles travelling along the route.
Security sources told security expert Zagazola Makama that, “the woman managed to escape from her abductors in the early hours of Wednesday, September 16, and subsequently made her way to safety.”
She was later taken to a hospital in Heipang, where she is being treated for minor injuries reportedly sustained during the incident.
