EKO HOT BLOG reports that a former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has reacted to the video of a terrorist group, ISAWP, assaulting the remaining passengers abducted from the Kaduna-Abuja train.
Sani, in a series of tweets via his verified Twitter handle, on Sunday, told the Federal Government that it should either free the remaining abducted passengers or negotiate for their release.
It would be recalled that some terrorists had kidnapped over 60 passengers from the Abuja-Kaduna bound train on March 28.
Since the abduction, some of those abducted have been released, while others are still being held captive by the terrorists.
However, in a viral video at the weekend, the terrorists were seen flogging the remaining captives.
“The video clip of the torture of Kaduna-bound train hostages followed the same pattern with that of Federal College of Agric Mechanisation, Kaduna.The difference was that women were spared. They are sending a message. The options remains two: free them or negotiate for their release.
“There has never been any successful rescue operations for most mass kidnappings of students, farmers or passengers in Kaduna, other than ransom payments by families. That is why the terrorists in the video called the committee set up by the Government as ‘Tea drinking committee’.
“When terrorists post video clips of the torture of their victims, they are waging a psychological war to bring attention to their demands.
