Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have
reportedly hijacked GUO motors coming to
the South-East from Lagos State, South West
Nigeria and abducted all passengers.
The kidnappers reportedly killed the driver of the
bus and left a little girl behind after kidnapping
her parents alongside other passengers.
Although SaharaReporters could not ascertain the
exact location of the incident that was said to have
happened on Friday, voices in a video of the
incident shared by Senator Ned Nwoko on his X
(formerly Twitter) said that the vehicle was
coming from Lagos.
In the video seen by SaharaReporters on Saturday,
a voice said "This bus is coming from Lagos. We
stopped together at Akure and ate."
Meanwhile, the Senator has decried the attack,
noting that this was one of the reasons for the law
on self-defence which he is sponsoring at the
National Assembly.
Senator Nwoko, who expressed dismay over the
handling of the kidnapping menace by the security
agencies, said that perhaps if the driver had a gun
or any of the passengers, the kidnappers wouldn’t
certainly have their way.
The attack has attracted angry reactions from
Nigerians who also shared the same belief that if
this is law on self-defence and residents can carry
arms, the kidnapping monster would certainly be
teamed.

Senator because One of the main reasons citizens
should be allowed to carry firearms for self-
defense is the fundamental right to protect oneself
and loved ones from harm.
"In situations like this one where law enforcement
wasn’t available, individuals including the driver
and passengers should have the means to defend
themselves from potential threats.
"Additionally, in some areas where kidnapping
and robbery are regularly occurring, response
times for emergency services is always lengthy,
making self-defense a crucial aspect of personal
safety.
"Furthermore, responsible gun ownership and
training can empower individuals to be more
capable of protecting themselves and others in
dangerous situations. However, it is important to
emphasize the need for strict regulations,
background checks, and training to ensure that
firearms are used responsibly and safely.
"I wish you lawmakers can at least do this for the
defenceless citizens. Obviously you guys have
security attached to your roles coupled with 160m
SUVs purchased with our money.
"If kidnappers knows that there are NOT likely to
succeed and return to their forests. They will
STOP"

"Self defence is the most effective way of self
preservation. Nigerians must be allowed to defend
themselves. If the govt fails to adhere to this, dem
go explain tire later!"

"It is evident that this incident happened a few
minutes before the security personnel arrived.
Why are they not going after the kidnappers?
"Why are they speaking to the girl and
contaminating the crime scene? Why are men of
the @PoliceNG so unprofessional in their conduct?"
