Four more Abuja-Kaduna train attack victims freed

Terrorists who attacked  an AK9 Train in Kaduna state on March 28 have released four more hostages in their custody. 

Among the released hostages include an  85-year-old woman, Hajiya Halimatu Atta and her 53-year-old daughter, Adama Aliyu.

Tukur Mamu, a member of the negotiating team disclosed that the victims were released on Friday after spending over four months in captivity.

Mamu has also drawn the attention of the Federal Government and the Christian Association of Nigeria about  plan by the terrorists to marry off the  youngest victim, 21-year-old Azurfa Lois John any moment from now, just as they did in the case of Leah Sharibu in Yobe state some years ago.

He added that one of the top commanders of the terrorists is said to be in love with Ms John.

He however pled with the Federal Government and other stakeholders  to intensify efforts towards the release of the 23 victims still with the terrorists whose health  conditions, according to him, is pathetic and require urgent medical attention.

Mamu also called on CAN not to politicize the issue or reduce it to mere press releases, but to work closely with relevant authorities to engage the abductors on the case of Ms John before it is late.
