VIDEO: Travelers In Fear Over Lagos-Ibadan Highway Kidnappings After Sounds of Gunshots

Fears are mounting over recent attacks by kidnappers in the Ogun and Oyo states axes of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, with three reported cases recorded in recent times
Some drivers and commuters who regularly ply the route told our correspondent during the week that they were worried by the incidents which according to them had become rampant

Penultimate weekend, a Toyota Sienna bus heading for Lagos from Ibadan was reportedly attacked by kidnappers who suddenly emerged from the bush at Onigaari end of the expressway and started shooting repeatedly.

A commercial driver, identified as Oluwatosin Aruwajoye, was killed in the process and five passengers abducted, while another victim, one Ibrahim Tiamiyu, was shot in the thigh. One of the passengers was said to have narrowly escaped.

Operatives from the Oyo State Police Command’s anti-kidnapping squad and the Toll Gate Police Division where the case was reported went to the scene for the on-the-spot assessment.

It was said that the kidnappers contacted the family of one of the five abducted victims, a female, and demanded N30m ransom. It is not clear whether the victims had been freed or rescued.

Also, last Saturday, a Nollywood actress, Bimpe Akintunde, shared how she and her daughter had a close shave with kidnappers along the same Oni-gaari axis on their way to Lagos from Ibadan.

A video was shared by one of the travelers today Wednesday 9th of November 2022 narrating the latest development

Back then we were shouting that south cannot be a victim of all these and that but now the situation is clear, the governors are watching and waiting for Mr. President to take action, Mr. President is watching all these while doing nothing, the thing is our governing system is overly poor and the masses that is suffering will still vote them in come Feb 2023. May God deliver us oo
