Kaduna State Government has said that it can authoritatively confirm that motorists are plying the Kaduna-Abuja highwqy which cuts across Chikun, Kachia and Kagarko local government areas.

The government was reacting to a story by a national daily that the road had been deserted following the attack by kidnappers recently.

“Vehicular movement is active on the double lane road, as commercial activities are also visible in local markets in Akilbu, Rijana, Kateri, Jere, Doka, Sabon Gayan and other communities surrounding the main road,” Kaduna State Commissioner for Interior and Home Affairs Samuel Aruwan said in a statement on Thursday.

“Ground troops of the Operation Thunder Strike (OPTS) and Police Operatives of the Operation Puff Adder are presently carrying out aggressive fighting patrols on the route, that stretches the three local government areas,” he added.
