Suspected armed herdsmen in Nigeria have attacked a commercial bus on the Ughelli-Agbarho section of the East-West Road in Delta State, killing an unidentified male passenger and injuring another female on the bus.

The incident occurred around 5pm on Friday.

The bus was said to be travelling from Bayelsa State to Warri when it was attacked and the female passenger sustained bullet wounds in her two legs.

The whereabouts of other passengers have not been known.

Spokesman for the Delta State Police Command, SP Bright Edafe, said he would contact the police division in the area for details. 

Two weeks ago, the police spokesman announced that the Commissioner of Police, Abaniwonda Olufemi, had deployed a tactical team to the area to address the rising incidents of armed robbery and kidnapping along that route.
