On Sunday, a group of armed men attacked workers from the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission, or RMAFC, on the Gusau-Funtua road.
The workers were traveling to Abuja for work when the armed men stopped them.
The leader in charge of the group was taken away by the attackers, along with other people, into the nearby forest.
Reports say that the driver and two other people lost their lives during this event.
Just a few hours before, similar armed men had attacked more cars on the same road, taking some people with them.
