Three passengers on Sunday evening along Abuja-Lokoja Express road were reportedly killed by gunmen and others kidnapped from a 14 sitters bus.
The suspected kidnappers waylaid a 14-sitter bus fully loaded with passengers and was heading to Abuja before the unfortunate incident.
It was at this point that another two Toyota Sienna mini buses also loaded with passengers and a Volvo SUV ran into the scene and all the occupants of the vehicles were taken into the bush.
An eyewitness, a driver of a commercial bus who escaped the onslaught by whisker told the Nigerian Tribune that the three people that were killed failed to cooperate with the abductors.
He said that has been the usual practice, particularly on Sunday, giving a hint that a colleague of his was kidnapped last week with an undisclosed amount paid as ransom.
Security operatives such as the Police, Army and the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps were on ground at the scene of the incident.
