“For now, we cannot confirm the number of people who were kidnapped until we get feedback from our officers. But I can tell you that we are on top of the situation and all the kidnapped persons will be rescued.”
This was the Oun State Police Command PRO, Folashade Odoro, on Monday speaking on the kidnap of some 14 bus passengers in Sun State.
They were said to have been kidnapped by suspected Fulani herdsmen, along Otan/Imesi-Ile road.
Reports said all the occupants of the bus, including the driver, were initially taken hostage, but four of them escaped.
It was gathered that the kidnapping was carried out following a tip-off from one of the occupants in the bus, who disguised as a passenger.
The victims were said to be travelling from Osogbo to Abuja, and were reportedly taken into a forest.
