A joint team of Police and the Military has rescued sixteen kidnapped passengers in Kogi State.
This was contained in a statement issued on Monday by the Police Public Relations Officer of the command, SP William Ayah.
The command’s image maker said that while eleven passengers were kidnapped from the Peace Mass Transit Bus, five others were kidnapped from a Sienna Bus along Ette Enugu Ezike road the previous day.
