As insecurity keeps eating deep into the nation, many cannot help but go about their daily lives in fear of the unknown.
For the average Nigerian, especially those living in some parts of the North, going out and returning home safely is now a luxury.
No fewer than 15 persons, including women and children, are said to be missing after armed men suspected to be vigilante personnel attacked an 18-seater bus.
The bus was said to be conveying passengers from Zaki/Biam in Benue State to Maihura in Bali Local Government Area of Taraba State on Tuesday.
It was gathered that the incident happened at Gankwe village along the Donga- Mararaban-Baissa road in the Donga Local Government Area of the state.
