ABC bus (Abuja to PH) left yesterday morning by 7.15am. After some questionable stops, it got to Owerri by midnight - usually it should have arrived PH much earlier. Despite pleas by passengers that the driver should wait till day break before proceeding, especially as the route was not safe at that time of day, the driver ignored security warnings and proceeded at 1.30am 28th Dec. Within an hour from Owerri, they were ambushed and robbed by armed robbers who requested the passengers to march into the bush leaving their luggage behind. After the robbery operation and the departure of the robbers, the bus continued to PH and finally arrived about 5am - almost 24hrs after leaving Abuja.
The passengers narrated their ordeal to the ABC management and the driver's obstinacy that got them into the problem. Rather, the passengers were informed that there was nothing ABC could do and the driver was exonerated.
If you are travelling by ABC, esp on the east west route, you are on your own o. The purported insurance cover is a joke. ABC is a rip off and when the chips are down, customer service is thrown out of the window.

My brother sorry ooo
No mind ABC trans.
Na yahoo yahoo company them be
I've experience same with.

This is really serious ooooo

This driver should have been sacked because traveling further to PH from Owerri at that time of the day despite warnings from the passengers? I think it is a set up by the driver himself, he has a share in the loot and he should have been investigated. If ABC did not do anything about it, then people better stop risking their lives boarding ABC to any part of the country.

In times like these..... Na jungle justice go solve am.

After i allow u evaluate a case, and u refuse to dialogue.... Den no worry.

I'd make sure i take sumtin dat is worth the value of what i lost!



#noTime..... 2012 dun pass º°˚!

I don't travel much,particularly to the East,can't say much.
But wait, is this a reported speech,or first hand experience?
I doubt the story.

ABC Should compensate. The victims if truly aggrieved should seek the services of lawyers.

Okay, thanks!

Hmmm sumtin similae happened to my cousine. He said when he was travelling from abuja to onisha(night journey), the driver stopped several times to the extent that the passengers were worried. When they got to okene along a bushy area, the driver flashed his head light twice for reason no body could tell cos there was no vehicle coming from the oposite direction. Then suddenly he reduced the speed of the vehicle and Gbam robbers apeared from nowhere. My cousin lost so much dat day, his iphone, laptop some of his jewelries and so on although nobody was harmed. I'v vowed never to toke a night bus ever in my life sinc he told me this. May God help us oh

This is an unfortunate scenario...please do not raise a false alarm, remember, this is someone's business you are trying to rubbish like this and as someone.... ....it won't be nice to watch...pls bro, it is an unfortunate scene, and believe me, it won't be taken lightly. Can you be kind enough to give out the driver's name and possibly the bus number pls? And moderators shouldn't have moved this to the front page too soon with more verifications cos this is an organization's image we are talking about here pls. Thanks

You guys deserve it all. After d robbery, u all entered d bus and continued ur journey, shee? U couldn't deall with d driver approriately? I suggest all d passengers should be detained and questioned.

bros/sis, they reported to the management and they said that nothing can be done and the driver was exonerated. I don't think bringing it here was too soon.

Why una no beat the driver leave am there carry the bus go back ph, abi no body fit driver among una?

There should have been over 40 passengers in that bus. do you mean that they could not boycott the bus and insist that the journey be continued the next day??

What did the Driver/conductor/Company loss? they had no valuables, no luggage in the bus. People should learn to demand for what is right, as it was their lives and property at stake.

ITbomb: Why una no beat the driver leave am there carry the bus go back ph, abi no body fit driver among una?

which kind drive?sell the bus and share the money.

Have we already lost hope on the security agencies as no comment is pointing in that direction?

ABC is not the first car to be rubbed, so stop condeming somebody's business.

dnawah: which kind drive?sell the bus and share the money.

Thank you brother.
Even if the papers no complete , carry am enter Ikoku and sell the parts

Sorry I sounded that way, but I would love to know the name of the management personnel they complained to, the terminal and also the bus number for further assistance and corrective measure. I dnt need to be an ABC staff to achieve this anyway, but he can give us the info as a clarification anyway. Once again, I condemn the incident, its really a sad experience putting myself in the passengers' shoes
