It would be recalled that the Lokoja/Obajana/Kabba Road has become unsafe in recent times. Gunmen have been operating regularly on the road, abducting and sending people to their early graves.
In September, an army Major was among 26 people that were led to the bush at Aiyegunle Igun, a few kilometres to Kabba town. Some of them secured their freedom after one week in captivity. The fate of others are still unknown.
In a related development, some people narrowly escaped abduction when the gunmen seized the road on Sunday.
