Driver reveals How He Escaped Kidnappers Who Abducted Afenifere Youth Leader
A bus driver, Ali Isah, has narrated how he escaped the armed kidnappers who abducted Afenifere Youth Council President, Prince Eniola Ojajuni (pictured above), last week on Monday, Feb. 17, in Ondo state.
The driver, who suffered a gunshot wound inflicted by the kidnappers, said the incident occurred at Akuni, an Ondo bother town in Kogi State, The Nation reports.
Narrating how the incident occurred, Isah said his bus had 18 passengers who were going to Kano from Akure that fateful day, adding that as soon as they passed the checkpoints mounted by security operatives, they noticed a Hummer bus was advancing in the opposite direction.
“When the bus got closer to us, the bandits opened fire. They were shooting. At first, I didn’t know that I had been shot in my leg until they had left.
“They used the Hummer bus to pack people into the bush. It happened at Akuni in Ondo State, near Ayare in Kogi State.
“When I realized that bullet hit my leg, I kept it on the throttle and continued to drive until I entered Kogi State.”
The driver was discovered unconscious with bullet wounds by policemen from Ayare Division in Kogi who immediately commenced efforts to stabilize him.
“Because I was bleeding, I lost consciousness and when I woke up, I saw that I was at the hospital receiving treatment,” Isah added
