Many travellers are currently stranded on the Abuja-Kaduna Highway as angry residents have blocked the road over attacks, especially the killing of a 13-year-old girl by bandits.
The tragic incident occurred at Anguwar Magaji in Chikun Local Government Area of the state.
Residents said bandits stormed the house of the village head and abducted his family as well as other persons in the community.
A resident of the area told newsmen that they were not safe at home and their farms.
He explained that the residents only want security or to be allowed to protect themselves against the bandits.
It was gathered that the protesters refused to listen to the plea of security personnel who approached them.
