The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing has raised fresh alarm over the increasing rate of kidnapping of Igbo traders travelling to Kaduna State and other northern parts of the country in luxury buses, especially at night. To this end, the Igbo youths have urged the Federal and Kaduna State Governments to stem the worsening security challenge on major roads in Kaduna State, adding that there is need for the authorities to restrategise on security within major roads and forest areas in northern states. “These passengers numbering over 120 people, who are mostly Igbo traders, were abducted and taken into the bush. This time around it was GUO Transport, Ezenwata Transport and Young Shall Grow Transport luxury buses that were under the Luxury Buses Owners Association. This second abduction involved over 200 people mostly Igbo traders and as I speak to you, we have not heard anything about them also.
