Idowu Oguntona, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Lagos Bus Services Limited (LBSL), condemned the development in a statement signed by Mr Afolabi Olawale, its Public Affairs Officer, on Wednesday.
According to Oguntona, the trend of hoodlums attacking buses has become both alarming and unacceptable.
“The bus, which was traveling from Mile 2 to Leventis, was approaching the Ore-Ofe bus stop on the Orile axis with 35 passengers on board when a large mob suddenly emerged and swarmed the bus.
"The attackers assaulted passengers, stabbed them with sharp objects, and robbed them of their phones and other valuables," he said.
