ABUJA - KADUNA TRAIN ABDUCTIONS UPDATE; VICTIM SHOT IN CAPTIVITY.
Available report indicates that one of the remaining 50 hostages of the abducted Abuja-Kaduna train passengers was said to have been shot by the terrorist.
The terrorist had two weeks ago released 11 out of the 61 victims of the abducted train passengers after almost three months in their custody, remaining 50 hostages still in their captivity.
According to Daily Trust, Malam Tukur Mamu, one of the negotiators and Media Consultants to a controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, disclosed, that the incident took place on Monday, he however identified the victim as Mohammed Al’Amin.
Sheikh said the government must be prepared to take full responsibility if they fail to act on time.
“I know what is in this crisis and that is why I keep emphasising that President Buhari must be prepared to take painful compromises if they are really committed to securing these innocent victims alive,” he said.
“With what we have succeeded in doing, the windows and opportunity we opened which there’s none hitherto, the government has the power to bring this to an end within three to four days.
“I assure them we can do it with their support and cooperation, and if it didn’t happen as long as government do the needful I will agree and accept to take full responsibility. Cases of emergency such as this doesn’t require unnecessary bureaucracy.”
He further stated that President Buhari had repeatedly ordered security agencies to ensure the release of the victims.
