Nyanya School Bus Attack On Tuesday Morning – Police Arrests Suspects
Barely 24 hours after gunmen invaded a private school in Nyanya,
Abuja today, the Vine International Academy School, and made away with
their school bus, police operatives attached to Nasarawa State Police
Command have intercepted them and recovered the school bus.
The School bus, Toyota Hiace with registration number XG 246 GWA, was recovered along Lafia Road in Nasarwa State.
A statement by the FPRO, Frank Mba on Tuesday said:
“The Operatives also arrested two of the suspects in connection with the robbery
incident, namely: Victor Essien; male, aged 40yrs and Ubong Bassey; male, aged 49yrs.
Meanwhile, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP MD Abubakar, CFR, NPM, mni, psc, while commending his men for a job well done, has reassured Nigerians of the enhanced state of security in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and its environs, adding that the Nigeria Police are committed to the task of providing the citizens and participants at the World Economic Forum (WEF) world-class security services now and beyond.
He enjoined citizens to remain vigilant and continue to support Security Forces in the task of securing the nation.”
BELOW IS THE PHASE OF THE STORY U MISSED;
There’s currently confusion and panic in Karu and Nyanya areas of Abuja after reports that suspected Boko Haram members hijacked a schoolbus this morning and kidnapped school children went viral. I hear anxious parents have even withdrawn their wards from schools there because of the scare.
The stories initially had it that two schools were invaded – Ave Maria Girls Secondary School and Vine International Academy but here is the true story – Ave Maria was not involved. The school
proprietor of Ave Maria confirmed on phone that their school wasn’t involved. But at Vine International Academy in Nyanya, their school bus was taken this morning by gunmen.
Vine International school’s proprietress confirmed the gunmen tried to enter her school but eventually couldn’t. And NO child was taken away by them. Just their school bus.
