BREAKING: Gunmen kidnap many passengers along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway

Unknown gunmen have reportedly kidnapped scores along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Daily Trust reports that the incident happened around Dominion University on Friday evening created tension, as many motorists turned back.

An eyewitness who spoke with our correspondent said nobody could ascertain the number of people kidnapped but three private vehicles were affected.

He listed the affected as an SUV, a Toyota Camry Car and Sedan vehicle whose model could not be ascertained.

The eyewitness who was travelling from Lagos to Ibadan said there was fear among motorists and passengers around the spot.

He said, “I can confirm some motorists have just been kidnapped near Dominion University, Ibadan. Many vehicles had to turn back but the road is free as I am talking to you.

“I saw three vehicles with their doors wide open and not a single person was found inside the three vehicles and there is no trace of where they ran to.

“One of the cars smashed its bonnet on the wall while the one behind jammed it from behind but there was no sign of an accident. We are sure it was a case of kidnap because the vehicles were empty.

“At first, we thought it was robbery but if it was not. We should have seen those that were robbed. There was nobody at the scene when my vehicle got there.”
