Bus runs over robbed passengers in Nigeria

A bus driver ran over and killed 14 travellers who had been ordered to lie in the middle of a road after their own bus was robbed on its way to Nigeria's capital, police said.

Robbers stopped an overnight bus early on Tuesday and made passengers disembark and lie down on the busy road that connects the commercial hub of Lagos to the capital of Abuja, Kogi state police spokesman Ajayi Okasanmi said. Another bus then ran over them and drove off.
