Good Is Good, ABC Transports
By Our Reporter
The police have commenced operations to rescue the Abuja bound passengers travelling in Good Is Good and ABC Transport buses and were abducted by kidnappers.
To this end, operatives of the Kogi State Police Command have launched a spirited manhunt for the kidnappers.
About 14 Abuja-bound travellers in two different luxury buses were abducted at Inyenle Eteke, Ogugu , Olalamaboro Local Government Area of Kogi State.
This was made known by a social media influencer, Chude Nnamdi, via his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle, chude_, on Sunday.
Nnamdi tweeted that his wife was sadly in one of the hijacked buses but could not ascertain the number of persons in the two buses.
“The report reaching me this morning is that a GIG & ABC Transport buses heading to Abuja were hijacked by kidnappers yesterday in Kogi State.
“The GIG bus left Umuahia at 7:30 am and was hijacked at Kogi State. GIG Company said they have contacted security services and they are tracking them. The kidnappers phoned this morning via my wife’s phone and were demanding N15m”, Chude said.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, SP William Aya, said the Area Commander who led his team to the area saw the two buses but did not see the occupants and therefore could not ascertain the number of people on the two buses.
Aya said in a statement that “God is Good Motors was with 12 passengers while ABC was with two passengers.
“Meanwhile, the driver of the ‘God is Good’ Motors, Mr Godwin Oniovosa, was later rescued” adding that “bush combing continues.”
