Luxury bus owners in Nigeria are complaining about  the  incessant robbery attacks of their buses along the highways .

The Association of Luxury Bus Owners of Nigeria, ALBON, said that apart from the lives of their employees and passengers being  threatened, their vehicles were becoming difficult to maintain as most of them had been put out of business due to security of lives and property of passengers which can no longer be guaranteed.

The National Vice President of ALBON, Chief Sabastine Udemba said. “We have summoned several emergency meetings of ALBON to find solution to the armed robbery attacks which had been militating against our businesses.

“We can no longer keep quiet while our drivers and passengers are robbed and killed on daily basis. To us this is a sabotage If the Federal Government and the governors of the states where our vehicles were waylaid or ambushed and our drivers and passengers robbed or killed are not worried, they should tell us so that we can close our companies and start other businesses. The attacks are unbearable. “These attacks are more rampant on northern routes such as Lagos- Kano road, Morkwa and Kabba in Niger and Kogi States as well as  Gwagwalada- Abuja road. Others include Ankpa- Abuja roads, Big Boy Jos Plateau state road and Kaduna -Abuja road.

“Other routes where our vehicles are robbed include 9th Mille- 7 Up – Ugbokolo road, Benin Ijebu Ode road, Benin Bypass- Shagamu road,  Uromi- Auchi- Abuja road, Okenne- Abuja road and Kaduna- Abuja- Bauchi road.”
