THE Kogi State Police Command says it has rescued 11 National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members and other passengers abducted along the Aloma-Egane Expressway in Ofu Local Government Area of the state.
The command’s spokesperson, Saliu Afusat, disclosed this in a statement issued in response to a press inquiry, saying the victims were rescued during a search operation by security officers following Wednesday’s attack.
The incident occurred on 26 August at about 4:40 p.m. near the Ogene Zaria/Onicha-Igo Junction, when armed men emerged from the bush and blocked two buses travelling in opposite directions.
According to the police, some passengers escaped into the surrounding bush while others were abducted.
“Upon receipt of the distress call, the Divisional Police Officer, Ofu, led a joint security team to the scene, where two abandoned vehicles, a Peace Mass Transit white Hummer bus and a yellow 18-seater bus, were recovered,” the statement said.
