Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers on Tuesday attacked an Abuja-bound bus belonging to GUO Transport Company along the Akunu axis of Ondo State.

The suspected kidnappers injured some engers and left the vehicle riddled with bullet holes.

SaharaReporters obtained a disturbing video from the scene showing the aftermath of the attack.

Bullet holes riddled the body of the vehicle, and blood was visibly splattered across the front seats, indicating that some engers were injured during the ambush.

“Make I come make them bring tyre out there. I thank God nothing happened to me. You no see wetin bullet do this place (Let us bring the tyre out of there. I thank God nothing happened to me. Can you see how they damaged the vehicle with bullets?),” the driver said in the video, pointing to damage on the bus caused by bullets.

The attack reportedly occurred between Akunu in Ondo State and Ayere in neighbouring Kogi State, an area notorious for frequent bandit and kidnapper activity, despite regular police checkpoints in the region.

“Kidnappers open fire on Abuja bound GUO bus shortly after driving about 3 minutes ing a police checking point Akunu in Ondo, before Ayare in Kogi state,” an X who claimed to be privy to the development added.

One enger could be heard urging others to re-enter the bus so the exhausted driver could rest.

When SaharaReporters ed GUO Transport through its official WhatsApp line for comment, the company’s automated response said: “Thank you for ing GUO Transport. We’d love to help, but we’re currently off work hours. We’ll attend to all enquiries in the next working hour.”

As of the time of filing this report, the spokesperson for the Ondo State Police Command, Funmilayo Odunlami, had yet to respond to multiple calls and follow-up messages seeking comment.

Kidnappers, bandits and BH terrorists running amok across this nation while the government of the day is seating as a lame duck.

Where are the cows?
Is Evans a herdsman?

It was a mistake.
Kindly forgive them. We must always strive to preach forgiveness. Don't forget that we are one ( Fulanis and Yorubas).

It seems herdsmen and kidnappers have totally overrun Ondo State

Awon skull miners

Jagaban Army

I miss those days when road accidents was the only threat confronting travellers due to the deplorable state of some roads. Traveling a long distance and not landing in kidnappers den is now miracle.

Ondo state as the epicenter

Ondo go dy joke with Fulani, who sends a thunder strike for cows

Politicians are only interested in stealing from the people to maintain power and provide security and future wealth for their families and cronies

Why always Abuja-bound GUO buses?

They are doing nothing to this madness. Honestly, I don't know why Tinubu is delaying in restructuring this country. We need state police now

Our political and economic elites are just terrible! You mean to tell me neither Kogi or Ondo governors can handle those terrorists terrorising their intra-roads?

The way you guys report news self is something else. Abuja bound GUO bus, coming from where? No info on that.

Nigeria as a country is almost gone completely. I wonder where these kidnappers and bandits hide that the police or military can't find or fish them out. Shey the intelligence unit for these forces no dey work? God abeg, this is too much.

Let's pray for Ondo.

Bandits have shifted their attention there.

Hmmm.... Government is the one behind all these insecurities. Expecting APC to tackle insecurity is like expecting 10 camels to enter the eye of a niddle at once.

Hmm, this is fake news it happened in the South West so therefore there is absolutely no single cause for alarm

Let us watch the South East where the real humans live

They are not different from his online bandits defending this clueless and wicked government

Lol…it’s now everyday

Nawaoh

Ondo don finally overtake Kaduna

APC is a failure, no be today . In the other news, Ondo people carried dead bodies of 3 of their relations to meet the governor in his office to proof his incompetence. Fulani Herdsmen killed them on their farmlands. There's nothing achieved through propaganda that won't back fire. They'll only condemn,
commiserate and empathise , then move on. I only pity those ing these wicked leaders wey no send dem papa message.

How these people are advancing in our land is becoming worrisome. I hope all our governors are taking note of their advancement.

The SW governors must act immediately.
Send delegates to ISWAP and Boko Haram terrorist agents and bribe them if necessary.
Cases of terror attacks are beyond Tinubu's powers, the poor guy is helpless

The gunmen are hunters......Ondo state governor should visit the victims state of Origin and ensure ALL VICTIMS ARE FULLY COMPENSATED or else....

Hunters attacked the real innocent travellers...

Ondo again?!
Obviously, things have gone out of hand!
Commader-in-Chief should declare state of Emergency in Ondo ASAP!

this hunters again!
But what's up with ondo state lately...
Serious security lapses is going on there.
The governor have to sit up.






We all know federal government have failed

ONDO state has been compromised. I suspect deeper engagement of internal machineries in all of this. Too bad.

Hunters in action. Lay hands on these hunters and you're doomed. Politicians are using terrorists to play politics. Nigeria is indeed a time bomb, the explosion will be so great.

If the GUO bus occupants had dared to defend themselves—say, by mowing down their attackers or fighting back with any means necessary—you can bet your last kobo that hell would have broken loose. The same people who stay mute when Igbos are butchered like animals would have suddenly found their voices, screaming for revenge, rallying mobs to torch Igbo businesses and property in other parts of the country. Hypocrisy would have gone viral, and bloodlust masked as patriotism would have reared its ugly head—again.

The problem doesn't seem to be the herdsmen but their sympathizers

With what? Their teeth abi?
Do you know that in Nigeria, a state governor cannot authorize you to bear arms

Only the IG of police can
