An unspecified number of motorists were feared kidnapped along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway on Friday.
Several vehicles aborted their trips and drove in the opposite direction due to the tension generated along the expressway.
The incident happened around Dominion University City of Faith, KM 24, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
An eyewitness who spoke with our correspondent saying: "nobody could specify the total number of people kidnapped but three private vehicles were affected."
A Jeep, a Toyota Camry Car and Sedan vehicle whose model could not be ascertained were listed a the affected vehicles.
The eyewitness who was travelling from Lagos to Ibadan said there was fear among motorists and passengers around the spot.
He said, “I can confirm some motorists have just been kidnapped near Dominion University, Ibadan. Many vehicles had to turn back but the road is free as I am talking to you.
“I saw three vehicles with their doors wide open and not a single person was found inside the three vehicles and there is no traces of their whereabouts.
“One of the cars smashed it bonnet on the wall while the one behind jammed the one ahead from behind but there no sign of accident. We are sure it was a kidnap case because the vehicles were empty when we got there.
“At first, we taught it was robbery but if it was not. We should have seen those that were robbed. There was nobody at the scene when my vehicle got there.”
