Gunmen abducted 16 people from a passenger bus near southern Nigeria's oil city of Port Harcourt on Monday, witnesses told AFP. "They blocked the road and opened fire on the bus as it approached the Emohua area, thereby forcing the driver to a stop," said witness Tamuno George. "There were 16 people including the driver." A staff member of the company which operated the bus said the gunmen then marched the passengers into the bush.
"The hoodlums accosted the bus ordered the passengers and driver out of the vehicle and marched them into the bush," the worker, who did not want to be identified, told AFP. Police in Rivers state confirmed the incident, adding that a manhunt had been launched for the gunmen. "The command is currently analysing the information it received from witnesses over the incident," said state police spokeswoman Nnamdi Omoni.
