Suspected Fulani herdsmen on Wednesday attacked travellers on the Abuja-Keffi Expressway, Punch reports.

According to the news platform, the robbery took place at about 10am on the Expressway close to a village called Barde, after Gidan Waya in Kaduna State, a few kilometres from Jos, Plateau state capital.

The robbers reportedly came from the bush, stopped vehicles and ordered passengers to lie facedown.

The incident also reportedly took place between two police checkpoints.

The robbers fled into the bush after 30 minutes of successful operation, when they sighted some soldiers from Keffi in Nasarawa state.

Some of the victims claimed the robbers were Fulani as they understood the language they conversed in.
