Meanwhile, two yet to be identified gallant Soldiers who were contacted within the environment had already rendered assistance to travelers by joining a private car to lead other motorists to clear the road and chased the robbers away.
This was not made known to the men of the Nigerian Police who were on the road demanding ransom from road users a few minutes to Kabba town.
Starnews NG Correspondent reports that on getting to the Police checkpoint, the driver of the commercial bus conveying him to Abuja quickly informed the Police that armed robbers were at their back operating with a request from the driver that the Police should please go after them.
