Suspected gunmen have abducted a bus driver and 14 passengers along the Ohoror- Patani axis of the East-West Road, Delta State.
The gunmen, sources said, intercepted the bus belonging to a popular transport outfit in the state, which was heading for Port Harcourt, Rivers State from Warri in the early hours of Monday.
Speaking on the development on Thursday, a police source in the Ughelli Area Command, said that the kidnappers whisked their victims to an unknown destination and that they are still being held hostage.
He said that the hoodlums have established contact with the transport company as they have demanded a ransom of N100,000 for the release of each of their victims as the incident had been kept secret from the public.
“We and other sister security agencies are on the trail of the hoodlums and would do everything to ensure that the victims are released unhurt,” the police officer said.
