EKO HOT BLOG reports that the victims of a train headed for Kaduna from Abuja which was intercepted by terrorists on March 28, 2022, have again pleaded with the Federal Government to secure their release.
The train had been intercepted by terrorists, less than 20 minutes to its destination.
While nine persons were shot dead, some sustained injuries and over 60 passengers, including children and elderly persons, were abducted.
The terrorists have released several videos of the victims since the abduction took place.
In one of such videos, they threatened to kill them if the Federal Government failed to meet their demands, among which are the release of their children and some arrested insurgent commanders.
In a new video, eight of the captives – five men and three women – called on the Federal Government to accede to the demands of their captors.
While the men knelt, the women sat on a mat as flies hovered around them.
