10 Passengers Kidnapped On Owo-Benin Highway In Ondo by NaijaCover(m): 2:04pm On Feb 04
No fewer than 10 passengers have been abducted by gunmen along the Owo-Benin highway in Ose Local Government Area of Ondo State.

The gunmen reportedly attacked the commercial bus the passengers were travelling in after which they were marched into the bush.

It was gathered that the passengers were on their way from Akwa Ibom to Akure when the incident happened.

One of the sources, who craved anonymity, disclosed that the driver of the space bus had initially thought that the gunmen were security operatives but realised that they were criminals when they shot sporadically into the air.

” They were kidnapped on the Owo-Ipele road on Saturday morning at about 12 am. Their vehicles were stopped, and they were dragged into the bush to an unknown destination.

“The hoodlums ambushed them and whisked all the occupants of the vehicle into the bush. All the occupants of the vehicle were abducted and nobody heard anything about them since then.

However, the police image maker in the state, Funmilayo Odunlami, however, stated only seven people were kidnapped.

“The police received information that a vehicle was attacked along the Owo/Ifon road, and seven people were suspected to have been abducted.

“Seven travellers were involved; they were coming from Akwa Ibom State in a commercial bus. Our men are already making efforts to rescue the victims from the kidnappers and arrest the perpetrators.”

From massacres by herdsmen in parts of the Southeast to widespread kidnapping in the west.

Mr. Tinubu, you can't achieve any meaningful developmental and investment impacts with this disgraceful surge of insecurity.

Under APC, Nigeria has practically become a haven for criminals and terrorists.

It doesn't make sense na!

Incidence like this happens in Auchi- Ekpoma axis regularly, I don't know why the press just ignore that area.

Between June & December last year, over 70 young people where kidnapped and killed for ritual in Auchi but the press was silent.

In Ekpoma, Irrua, Ubiaja, Ewoyimi etc.. Kidnapping is now a daily occurrence, sometimes they go from house to house in the day to kidnap. Those travelling to attend Marriage or Burial ceremony in that area are kidnapped and killed for ritual. They don't even call for ransom again.

How come? Upon the tons of police and military checkpoints in that axis? It's becoming clear that our security operatives only know how to harrass and intimidate innocent citizens than to protect the lives of the people
