But on getting to Sagamu, they brought out their guns, ordered the driver to stop and then diverted the bus.
Two females including 18-year-old girl in a bus conveying passengers from Lagos to Abuja were raped by
the dare devil armed robbers who attacked their bus at Sagamu area of Ogun State.
The gunmen also robbed all the passengers inside the bus,the incident occurred around 12noon Nigerian time.
A final year pupil of the Nigeria Military School, Kaduna State, who was one of the victims, Feyisa Ayo-Vaughan, said the robbery took place few hours after they left Lagos.
He said, “We left Lagos around 8am. On getting to Sagamu, one of them brought out a pistol, pointed it at the driver and took over the steering and drove us into the bush. We were searched, robbed, and then the two girls were raped.”
The Station Manager, Ifesinachi Bus Transit, the operator of the vehicle, who identified himself simply as Nelson, confirmed the incident. He said the victims would be compensated.
Nelson admitted that the passengers were not checked before they boarded the vehicle, saying he thought the style used by the robbers was no longer in vogue. There was also security arrangement we put in place but we stopped when we felt things had normalised. This was part of the reasons why we don’t operate night buses,” he said.
