More than 30 people have been abducted and two killed by armed bandits in several attacks on a highway in northern Nigeria’s Kaduna state, local officials said Saturday.<\/h4>\n

The attacks are the latest in a spate of kidnappings for ransom in the Birnin Gwari district over the last two months.<\/h4>\n

“Around 18:25 on Friday, 22 people were kidnapped by armed bandits along Birnin Gwari highway, between Udawa and Labi villages”, said Isah Muhammad Galadima, spokesman for local traditional ruler the Emir of Birnin Gwari.<\/h4>\n

“The bandits, who carried heavy weapons on motorbikes, intercepted seven vehicles and kidnapped everybody, even a young mother with her baby,” Galadima told AFP.<\/h4>\n

“Earlier on Friday, another 10 people were also kidnapped along this highway by the armed bandits.”<\/h4>\n

It is worth mentioning that Kaduna has a huge Shia community that was massacred by the authorities on 2015.<\/h4>\n
