15 Passengers Missing, Driver, 2 Others Escape As Gunmen Attack Bus In Taraba by OgaDeyVex(op): 11:12am On Mar 13, 2024
Fifteen Passengers Comprising Women and Children went missing in an attack on an 18-seater bus heading from Zaki/Biam in Benue State to Maihura in Bali Local Government Area of Taraba State, on Tuesday.

The Heavily Armed Men Suspected to be Vigilante Group attacked the bus at Gamkwe Village, located at Maraban-Baisa in Donga Local Government Area of the state.

The Driver of the Bus, Mr. Mpuuga Mbaave who escaped the scene of the incident with machete wounds, while speaking with our correspondent on phone, said the armed Vigilante Group were in large numbers with guns, machetes and other light arms.

“I loaded 18 passengers from Zaki/Biam. Immediately after Maraba, I saw many people in Vigilante Group uniforms, they were many, I suspected something was wrong, I then stopped but one of the villagers told me that I should go saying two members of the Vigilante Group were killed by kidnappers, that was why they gathered, that there is no problem, I should proceed.

“As I moved closer, some of the Vigilante Group started shouting, kill all of them. It’s their people that killed our members, they started attacking the passengers and cutting them with machetes.

They removed all of us, forced us to lie facedown, my bus was still on. When I discovered that it was getting out of hands, I decided to jump up to the bus and left the passengers, my conductor also followed me, all of us were cut with machetes and blood was rushing out of our bodies, that was how we escaped and left the passengers in their hands,” Mpuuga recounted.

The Chairman of Doonga Local Government Council, Hon. Ezra Voka confirmed the incident to LEADERSHIP on phone, saying he was already in the nearby forest in search of the victims.

“Please my friend, I’m already in the bush in search for the missing people, we can’t talk much now till when I get more information from here,” Voka Said.

Kidnapping is now a norm in Nigeria. No thanks to APC and Tinubu.

Maybe we should just shut down the country and reset everything. How can we continue with this level of insecurity? Surely, even Somalia and Afghanistan can't be this bad.
WTH is going on?
Where is our Police and military? If they cannot cope maybe we should consider using military security contractors. People cannot just keep getting kidnapped and killed so wantonly when we no dey under Taliban. Haba!!

Next time when you go to church and the pastor tells you to pray for Nigeria.......
Tell him that God has left Naija.

Does Nigeria still have a government? NO! We have groups of people who found Nigeria as an enterprise instead of as a nation.

With all these crisis at hand NASS members were busy accusing and counter-accusing themselves about money to be shared.


Government has refused to take up their responsibility thereby abating insecurity in the land.

If you either support this failure of government by association, ethnicity, religion, tribe, political party, etc, note Thatcher tou survive toda doesn't guaranty tour survival tomorrow.

Soonest (I mean in 2, 5, 10 Years or more), if the government refused to do anything, this precious country might be overrun by terrorists and co.

Even now, it is difficult for government to sterm the tide.

NIGERIA MUST BE ONE.

I hope the likes of General Gowon is seeing what is going on.

His own people in the middlebelt are tasting the so called Nigeria.

Exactly how an entire ethnic group paid the price for something a few people comprising of all the major tribes did.

Nigeria is not one, and can never be one even in a thousand years.

Break up this country into at least 6 different countries. Each government will become closer to their people, and when that happens, the people will become more involved in government, they will feel less helpless, and will vote better leaders who they can demand accountability from.

End Nigeria to save lives.

It's looking like security is non-existent in this nation.

Nigeria is falling apart.

Did those secured countries we traveled to today passed through this nightmare as a country?

Hmmm! Now this news has become a normal news in the country.
