Gunmen have hijacked a school bus at Oba Ile Estate, Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State.
Although no pupil was on board, the attackers were said to have whisked away an official of the school who was on her way to pick up pupils from their homes on Thursday morning.
According to a resident, the gunmen who were on motorcycles, rounded up the vehicle around 6:45am.
Narrating the incident, Mrs Akindemowo Bolatito, the school administrator, said it was a parent who alerted her about the development.
“This morning I got a call from a parent who told me that our driver wanted to speak with me. When I spoke with the driver, he told me that the school bus was hijacked at gunpoint and Omolayo Ojo, an attendant, was also taken away.”
