In Kogi, everyone on a bus with 18 seats has been kidnapped.
Security Consultant to Kogi State Lead representative, Resigned Maritime Official Jerry Omodara, affirmed the snatching of travelers on Thursday.
However, he stated that the State government was handling the investigation.
At the Anyigba-Itobe road in the Ofu Local Government Area of Kogi State, all 18 passengers in a bus were reportedly taken.
According to an eyewitness, the incident occurred on Monday around 4 p.m. at the well-known location for kidnappings in the Ochadamu area of the aforementioned highway.
According to a source in the area and a reporter for The Punch, the crooks in large numbers forced the bus’s passengers to the bush and flagged it down at gunpoint.
From the country’s eastern region, it was said that the bus would travel to Abuja.
The locals went on to say that since the army checkpoint in the area was taken down, kidnappings have increased in the Ochadamu flash point.
Since Monday’s incident, security personnel, including vigilantes in the area, were said to be frantically attempting to rescue the kidnapped victims.
