How Police Rescue Passengers From Bus Hijacked By Robbers
The driver of the vehicle and the passengers were rescued and taken to Ibusa Police Station where they revealed that five armed men unknowingly boarded the bus as passengers from Lagos.
About 80 passengers on the way to the south-east in a luxury bus were rescued by men of the Dragon Patrol Team of the Delta State Police Command after a gang of five armed robbers hijacked the bus on their way to celebrate the yuletide with their families.
According to a police statement issued by the state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, DSP Celestina Kalu, the hoodlums disguised as passengers, boarded the bus from Lagos before hijacking it at gunpoint at Umunede on the Benin-Asaba Expressway.
On getting to Umunede, a neighbouring town to Agbor in Delta State, they took over the bus and started robbing the passengers.
She further stated that on sighting the police, the robbers jumped down from the bus and escaped into the bush.
