The bus driver, Joseph Akpaenin, suffered a bruised shoulder and had his phone stolen. He managed to escape when the bus’s trunk flung open, diverting the mob’s attention to the falling bags of rice and garri.
The attack also left Tribune reporter Joseph Abasi-Abasi and NUJ auxiliary staff Saviour Ekpenyong with severe injuries.
They are currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed medical facility.
