Police authorities in the state confirmed the abduction on Tuesday, stating that the incident occurred along the Azumini boundary between Akwa Ibom and Abia states.

The ill-fated bus which departed the Uyo Terminus, was traveling through Iwukem in Etim Ekpo local council area of Akwa Ibom before it was intercepted by the gunmen.

Eyewitnesses, who requested anonymity, revealed that the assailants halted the bus by firing shots into the air.

More gunmen emerged from the bush to join the initial gang in the shooting before ordering all passengers to disembark from the bus under the death threat.
