Two transportation buses filled with passengers, one of them, a luxurious bus, have fallen into bad hands.
The buses which belong to the ABC Transport and God is Good Motors, took off from Umuahia, Abia State for Abuja, Nigeria’s Federal Capital on Saturday but the over 70 passengers in the two buses never made it to their destinations.
The buses were intercepted and hijacked by hoodlums and all the passengers kidnapped and marched into the forest.
One distraught man whose wife was one of the victims of the incident said the criminals used his wife’s mobile phone to contact him and demanded for the sum of N15m as ransom money in exchange for her freedom.
The Kogi State Police Command has confirmed the sad incident and assured that Security Operatives are on the trail of the hoodlums.
