A Senegalese man abducted 51 children when he hijacked an Italian school bus and set the vehicle alight in a protest over migrant deaths in the Mediterranean.

Ousseynou Sy, originally Senegalese but with Italian citizenship, stopped the bus he was driving, with two classes of high school students on board.

He was said to have ordered the children's hands to be bound and threatened to kill them and himself during the drive, before setting the vehicle on fire when he was stopped by a police blockade today.

Officers broke the glass in the back door of the bus and got all the passengers to safety without serious injury before the flames destroyed the vehicle, authorities said.

As he was apprehended, the driver said he was protesting migrant deaths in the Mediterranean, Commander Luca De Marchis told Sky TG24.

The incident happened in San Donato Milanese, a town near Milan, Italy.

The 47-year-old father of two, whose ex-wife is Italian, has been arrested and charged with carnage and kidnapping, worsened by the fact that most of the people involved are under age.

De Marchis told Sky TG24 that the driver, an Italian citizen of Senegalese origin in his 40s, threatened the passengers, telling them that 'no one would survive today' as he commandeered the bus carrying two middle-school classes in Cremona province, some 25 miles (40 kilometres) from Milan.

ANSA quoted one of the students as saying the driver took all their phones and ordered the chaperones to bind the students' hands with cable ties, threatening to spill gas and set the bus ablaze.

The student, whose name was not given, said a classmate managed to conceal his phone.

Authorities said that an adult called an emergency operator, while one of the students called a parent, and they alerted authorities, who set up roadblocks.

For thread on bus video: https://www.nairaland.com/5089987/see-horrific-moment-kids-run


Pic 1: Bus on fire
Pic 2: Ousseynou Sy is arrested

Pic 3 This brave young boy managed to open the back door of the school bus today ensuring the getaway for all of the 51 children inside the burning bus.

“He tied us to the floor covered in petrol and took our phones away so we couldn’t call the police,” one of the 51 children held hostage in a school bus set on fire by a driver of Senegalese origin who wanted revenge for migrants “dying at sea”.

Mad people everywhere. God protect us and our children.

Mad man. How is it the fault of the children that illegal immigrants entering Italy through the Mediterranean get killed at sea? If his useless leaders had been more concerned about the citizens of their countries, would they have had the need to risk their lives crossing the sea? He deserves to be locked up in a mental institution for the rest of his life. Thank goodness the children are safe

If your country is okay while migrating if not for all this corrupt politicians why will a normal human being dare to cross the sea with a canoe

So you offered to kill yourself because african immigrants are killed at the Mediterranean sea

You should rather burn the incompetent leaders that made life unbearable for their citizens

Very soon Europe and America will learn their lesson.... because I can't just imagine asking you to come and pass the night in my house and you'll start kicking my kids......

If you are in Ibadan and you care for a bottle of Drink this night, quote this comment

If they decide to send them back to their shitholes, they will cry foul.

Thank God.
You are right

Africa decided to be useless by choice

it's not the fault of the Europeans in the real sense of it (I know some will want to blame slavery and colonialism and all that)

If African leaders, elite class and masses decide to fix their countries, the flow to Europe will reduce drastically

if them call this one extremist or terrorist, dem go talk say na because the guy na Muslim.... if you want to protest, must you put further life at risk? he's gonna his heels in Guantanamo Bay
