Abducted 14 transport firms’ passengers, two drivers regain freedom

Declare state of emergency on insecurity, PFN tells Tinubu
The Kogi State Police Command has confirmed the release of the abducted passengers of two transport companies.

The passengers were abducted last week in Olamaboro Local Council of Kogi State.

The 14 passengers and drivers of the two buses were said to be heading to Abuja from Aba in Abia State.

According to the Police Spokesman, William Ayah, the combined efforts of the police, military, hunters and vigilantes secured their release, saying that he did not know whether ransom was paid.

The abductors of the passengers had earlier contacted families of the victims demanding N15 million as ransom.

Meanwhile, the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has called on President Bola Tinubu to declare a state of emergency on insecurity.

The PFN, who spoke with journalists through its President, Bishop Wale Oke, after its National Advisory Committee and National Executive Council meeting, yesterday, in Lagos, enjoined Nigerians to join hands with the President.
