An 18-seater bus from Abeokuta transporting passengers along Igboora-Eruwa Road was reportedly attacked by some unknown gunmen and all 18 passengers abducted to unknown destination.
The incident which was said to have happened in the early hour of Thursday has reportedly increased apprehensions in the minds of commuters and residents in the area.
Confirming the abduction, Oladiran Oladokun, told journalists that the 18-seater bus was from Abeokuta transporting passengers along Igboora-Eruwa road.
When asked if the matter has been reported to the police, Oladokun noted that he was not sure if the matter had been reported to the Igboora Police Division because he did not personally have the Igboora DPO’s phone contact but confirmed the abduction took place.
He said the empty 18-seater bus is still there by the road side along Igboora-Eruwa road.
As at press time, all efforts to get reactions from the Oyo State Police Public Relation Officer (PPRO), DSP Adewale Osifeso proved abortive as calls made and messages sent to his phone line were not responded to.
