A yet-to-be-identified commercial bus driver was shot dead by some suspected robbers in Mile two area of Lagos State.

Information gathered revealed that the victim's automobile was hijacked by the robbers, who were taking turns to dispossess passengers of their valuables, but he refused to let go of the bus.

He was stated to have been taken and thrown out of the bus.
The assailants were reported to have abandoned the car and fled after a team of Rapid Response Squad chased them on motorcycles.
An witness, Liberty Whitney, who had been on the bus and was dispossessed of her valuables by the robbers, told the police that the suspects were three in number.

The 20-year-old International Relations graduate of Lead City University, Ibadan, Oyo State, said the incident happened on Sunday, November 19, while she was on her way to school.

Whitney said she had boarded the bus at Oshodi en route to Mile 2.

She said, “It was around 9.30pm that I boarded the bus. I was the only passenger in the vehicle as of then. More people later joined and the bus had two vacant seats left.

“The bus left the park and was about to pick more passengers at Cele bus stop when two men in white native attires pointed guns at us. They asked that we remained calm and do as we were told. They then joined the bus.

While other passengers were screaming and jumping down from the bus, I was held by a man that had joined the bus earlier when I tried to jump down as well. Like other passengers, I never knew the man was a member of the gang.

"when I made another attempt to jump down, one of the robbers pointed a gun in my face with a threat to shoot if I didn’t comply. One of them asked me for my phone, bag and money and when I was reluctant, he hit me in the neck with the 6utt of the gun. I couldn’t breathe well for some time. I handed over all I had with me instantly: travelling bag, polythene bag, laptop, phone, chargers and school certificates.

“I was allowed to jump down from the vehicle afterwards. A few minutes later, I heard a gunshot. A man was thrown off the bus. He had hanged on the back of the bus when he was shot by the side.”
She explained that after the gunshot, operatives of the RRS chased the vehicle on motorcycles.
