More than 15 buses carrying passengers travelling to their towns to celebrate Christmas and the New Year were attacked this morning by armed robbers around the Federal Road Maintenance Agency, FERMA, office, Mobalufon Junction, Ijebu-Ode and Ijagun, close to Tai Solarin University of Education, TASUED gate along the Benin Sagamu expressway, Ogun State.
The travellers were mostly Igbo who left Lagos early today. The robbers collected their bags, handsets, money and other valuables.
When P.M.NEWS visited the scene, the victims lamented their plight and thanked God that they were not killed. Some of the travellers were seen walking to neighbouring towns like Egbe, Moraika, Iken-Ogbo and Ijebu-Ode.
One of the victims who identified himself as Emeka, a POP (plaster of paris) dealer at Jibowu, Lagos, explained that the robbers capitalised on the gridlock on the expressway to raid their buses.
