In a bid to ensure safety and protection of travellers and motorists along the ever-busy Abuja-Kaduna highway, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba, took out time with some senior officers to patrol the road on Saturday.

This is coming two days after armed bandits reportedly shot sporadically while crossing the road.
