Armed men suspected to be kidnappers have reportedly abducted 12 passengers of a Toyota bus, along Okene-Auchi road in Kogi State.
It was gathered that the incident occurred on Friday when the passengers, who were returning from Abuja to Benin, Edo State, ran into an ambush mounted by their abductors.
According to locals, among the abducted passengers were newly-called-to bar lawyers, returing to Benin after a ceremony in Abuja.
An eyewitness reported that the abductors whisked all the passengers to the bush when the incident happened around noon.
