A bus driver from the Akwa Ibom State Transport Company (AKTC) and his 18 passengers have been taken by bad people with guns. This happened in a small town called Azumini, on the border between Akwa Ibom and Abia states.
The bus left from Uyo terminal last Wednesday. It was going through a place called Iwukem in Etim council area. But then, at the Azumini part of the road, the bad people stopped the bus
Police officer, ASP Timfon John, told us that they are looking into what happened.
We found out that the bad people stopped the bus by shooting into the air. They made the driver and passengers get out of the bus.
A person who saw it said, “The bad people told everyone to get out or they would be hurt. The driver got out first, and then everyone else followed. The bad people took everyone into the forest and disappeared. We don’t know where they are right now.”
The Police officer confirmed, “Yes, this happened in the Azumini area after Etim Ekpo local government area. We are still keeping an eye on things.”
