“The attackers, believed to be armed hoodlums, suddenly emerged from the bush, fired shots, and forced the Peace Mass Transit bus to stop,” Makama wrote.
The bus driver, Sunday Okechi, along with six passengers, managed to escape, but nine others were taken into the bush by the assailants.
Security forces quickly responded and discovered the abandoned Peace Mass Transit bus, registered ENZ-55 XS, alongside a blue Toyota Carina ‘E’ at the scene. Both vehicles have been secured by the authorities.
Members of security agencies, the Vigilante Group of Nigeria, and local hunters have launched a search and rescue operation aimed at freeing the kidnapped passengers and apprehending the gunmen.
