    Gunmen on Tuesday snatched some passengers commuting on the Ikom-Ogoja Highway in Cross River, South-South of Nigeria.

    Commissioner of Police in Cross River, Mr Sule Balarabe, confirmed the abduction, but said the number of victims had not been ascertained.

    He added that while awaiting the number of victims from the Divisional Police Officer in the area, a tactical team, including members of the police anti-kidnap squad have been deployed in the area.

    An eyewitness told NAN that no fewer than nine persons were abducted by the gun-toting abductors between Okomita and Uyanghoa communities near Calabar.

    He added that some of the passengers sustained gunshot wounds before the gunmen moved others into the forest.
