A tense scene unfolded on the Kaba–Obajaina expressway in Oshoko, Kogi State, after suspected bandits launched an attack that left travellers stranded for hours. Eyewitnesses said armed attackers seized control of the highway, blocking movement in both directions, before soldiers arrived and exchanged gunfire with the assailants.
One traveller captured the chaos in a live video, pleading, “Nigerians, please help us!” He described the environment as chaotic, adding that commuters had been stuck for over three hours with no clear way to escape as the attackers dominated the area.
The incident sparked widespread concern on social media, with many Nigerians expressing alarm over rising insecurity in the region. Users questioned the effectiveness of security operations in Kogi State and highlighted the growing dangers of road travel in the country. Comments such as “You can’t travel safely in Nigeria again” and “Kogi own don de worse now” reflected public frustration.
Security analysts warn that such attacks underscore the urgent need for government intervention to strengthen protection along key highways and ensure the safety of residents and travellers. Authorities are being urged to implement proactive measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
