No fewer than eighteen persons travelling from Warri to Bayelsa state in a private company bus have been abducted by gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen between Evwreni and Ogor axis of the East-West in Ughelli North local government area of Delta State.

The incident which occurred last Tuesday at about 5:00 pm at the Evwreni axis was reported by the supervisor of the transport company.

According to a security source from the Delta State Police Command,"The Supervisor of the transport line, name withheld reported that the one of their buses loaded with passengers from Warri to Bayelsa was blocked along the Ughelli-Patani road, around Evwreni axis and they were all kidnapped and taken to unknown destination.

Contacted, the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Edafe Bright said,"The issue is that the driver did not know where exactly that thing happened because he claimed that there was a kidnap. "But because people came to report to us, we now hold the driver who claimed that some people were kidnapped and he carried the other to their destination without reporting to the police, it became suspicious.
