Commercial drivers,
commuters, and motorists are gripped by fear following another attack on the
Lagos-Ibadan Expressway by gunmen suspected to be kidnappers.
Some passengers who
traveled on the road told journalists that the gunmen, who were dressed in
military uniforms, struck shortly before Shagamu on the expressway on Tuesday.
They were said to have
emerged from the bush and opened fire on a commercial bus loaded with
passengers.
Some of the passengers
were said to have been injured during the attack but it was gathered that
nobody was abducted as the security agent also responded on time.
Some intending
passengers who said they had planned to travel to Lagos from Ibadan on
Wednesday said they had aborted their trips.
Two of them said the
road had become a no-go- area for now because of the frequent attack by gunmen
on the road.
A civil servant, Toyin
Akanmu, who told our correspondent that he was supposed to travel to Lagos this
weekend said he had shelved the idea until a later date.
Another resident of
Ibadan told journalists that she would advise her husband who comes to see her
every weekend to stay back in Lagos until the situation on
the road improves.
