Gunmen Kidnap Travellers In Ekiti, Demand ₦30 Million Ransom Each by Dapromzy333(op): 10:37pm On Dec 23, 2024
Tragedy struck in Emure-Ile, Emure Local Government Area of Ekiti State, as gunmen ambushed and kidnapped several passengers traveling from Onitsha, Anambra State, to Ado-Ekiti on Sunday night, News360 Nigeria reports.

Among those abducted was the bus driver, Mr. Sunday Emmanuel, according to reports from the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), Ado-Ekiti Motor Terminal branch. The attackers have demanded a ransom of ₦30 million per victim.

In a distressing twist, the gunmen abandoned children who were also traveling on the bus. Their cries attracted the attention of passersby early Monday morning, leading to the incident being reported to the police.

He said: “They drove the bus into the bush and dragged people inside the bush.

“They called the family of the driver and I pleaded to speak with the driver and after our conversation, they demanded a ransom of N30 million. They said they would call back, but they have not done so yet.

“They left some children on the bus, and it seems that some people to the the farm saw the kids and alerted the police in Emure-Owo. The driver’s union in Ado-Ekiti is currently holding a meeting on how to reach out to the kidnappers”, he said.

He added that two of the kidnapped victims escaped while they were being herded into the bush.

Efforts to get the Ekiti police command’s comment was not successful as calls to the telephone line of the Police Public Relations Officer, Sunday Abutu rang out.

From my personal experience with numerous attacks by bandits, passing through Lagos - Oyo - ilorin- Mokwa - Abuja is much safer than passing through Akure/Ekiti - Lokoja -Abuja. The most dangerous route now is Ekiti/Akure to Lokoja, so travelers should be very careful on that route.

For those that are coming from South South or South East to Sokoto state, the fastest route to Sokoto is Abuja - Zaria - Funtua - Gusau - Sokoto, and the most very dangerous route is from Funtua - Gusau - Sokoto. Travelers should be very careful on that route, especially at night. The attack by bandits is very minimal in the day due to roadblocks by security operatives but very dangerous at night. Even there is a curfew on that route from 6 pm - 7 am. If you're traveling to that route and your driver reaches Zaria in the evening time, please don't allow the driver to move further, or you can come down from the bus because some drivers are very stubborn.

One of the most dangerous roads before was Abuja - Kaduna, but our soldiers have taken over the road, no more bandits attack on that road

Tinubu should set up ministry for banditry ASAP, so he can collect tax. Moreover ransome money for 2024 alone surpasses IGR of 20 states. With APC one day a bandit will become president and the oppressed will be rejoicing.

Can we start public execution of kidnappers?
When that starts, believe me kidnapping will reduce by 50%.
The image of kidnappers being executed will be playing in the brains of all prospective kidnappers. The number will definitely reduce.

Let us keep abusing Peter Giringory Obi while ignoring the fact that there's an industrial scale kidnapping business taking place along major highways in Nigeria by Fulani terrorists. We should keep ignoring the important things afflicting us in this country while focusing on a man who came third in an election. E ni ku re to all those promoting distractions from important issues plaguing us as a
nation cool
