Again, kidnappers waylay motorists on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway

Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers and dressed in military uniforms reportedly attacked commuters traveling on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Tuesday.

The suspected kidnappers reportedly stormed the road from the bush before the Sagamu Interchange en route to Lagos and started shooting at motorists in the 18-passenger inter-state bus.

According to one of the victims who craved anonymity, “We (passengers) were only lucky to escape the gunmen but many of us have been injured by the bullets and our bus has been badly damaged too.”

Another video shows a man who survived bullet wounds recounting his experience saying, “I thought I was dead, having been shot by them.

“They faced our vehicle shooting at us, we all lay down except the driver who was the target. They thought we were all dead and retreated into the bush.

“The joint patrol team of police officers from Ogun and Oyo states arrived at the scene later.
