No fewer than 10 travellers from Ondo State have been abducted by some unknown gunmen along the Obajana-Abuja Highway in Obajana, Kogi State.
The identities of all the victims were still unknown but the owner of the commercial bus which the victims boarded, Mr Abdulganiyu Hakeem, said the vehicle took off in Ajowa Akoko and was stopped by the bandits on the highway, abducting the occupants last week,
He said, “The 10 passengers on the bus including the driver were kidnapped and were led into the bush very close to Obajana in Kogi State. One of the passengers is a student of law school in Abuja.” He further stated that the hoodlums had contacted the families of the victims demanding a sum of N200,000 for driver and N100,000 for each of the remaining passengers before they would regain freedom.
