Seven corps members returning from the recent holidays were among the 16 passengers attacked by robbers at a spot on the Kaduna-Abuja highway on Sunday. The females among the corps members serving in Enugu and Ebonyi states were reportedly defiled by the hoodlums who blocked the highway to stop vehicles. A victim of the attack told us that in Enugu on Friday that the 16-seater bus carrying them was attacked by the robbers who disguised as policemen. She said that the bus left Television Garage in Kaduna around 8:30pm and was attacked a few kilometres away from the garage. The victim further said the robbers mounted a roadblock to give the impression that they were policemen on duty. “As we approached the roadblock, the driver noticed that they were not policemen and tried to retreat but it was late. “The robbers sensing what our driver wanted to do, left other cars and descended on us,” she said. The victim said that the robbers forcefully defiled all the female corps members in the bus and took all their belongings which included laptops, jewelries, handsets, foodstuffs and money. The corps member appealed to the government to ensure adequate security on the highways.

the important thing, is to take note of all this incident, and find ways to minimise them and in this case, rethink the authentication of police, but we are in Nigeria, life goes back to normal and we will forget.

Are their in a police uniform? if not why and how could they block a high way without police getting noticed of them after other cars has been held before the Bus, or is the police unit trying to cover the crime their members has committed by calling it an armed robber attack.
