20-year old twins Blaire and Clinton Roberts were reportedly kidnapped on their way to Lagos from Abuja on Sunday.
The twins had gone to Lagos to spend time with their mother but barely two hours into the journey, the bus which they boarded was attacked by unknown gunmen who robbed the passengers before taking the twins away.
According to eyewitness accounts, the men who attacked the bus were dressed in army fatigues and the passengers initially thought their bus was being stopped at the checkpoint. The robbers went on to hit the driver and shoot the bus’ windscreen, hitting the driver in the face, before ordering all passengers out of the vehicle.
The passengers were allowed to return to the bus after they were stripped of their valuables, it was then that passengers discovered that the twins did not return and had been kidnappers.
The kidnappers have since made demands for a N6million ransom, which was later increased to N10million with threats to kill the boys if the ransom was not paid.
If any member of the public has any information on the boys, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the police.
The twins are a singing duo called DNA Twins and were contestants on “Glo X Factor” season 2. They are also currently competing in “The Voice Nigeria”.
