Some abductees of the ill-fated train that came under terrorists attack in Kaduna State, have pleaded with the Nigerian government to come to their rescue.
The recorded video was published on Sunday by HumAngle with some of the victims seen seated on the floor and surrounded by armed persons in what looks like a large forest area.
One of the victims who spoke, but didn’t give her name, said she is a staff member of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Kaduna state.
“In my own case, I am a staff of INEC in Kaduna state. I am pleading with the government to please come to our rescue,” she said.
Joy, another abductee who identified herself as a student of Kaduna State University, asked the government to ensure they are rescued safely.
“I’m speaking on behalf of the students. Government should please hear our cry and come to our aid,” Joy said.
A woman identified as Gladys, who said she was an “ex-staff of Defence Industries Corporation of Nigeria”, said government should listen to concerns raised by citizens.
“What happened on Monday was needless if the government would have a listening ear and accede to what the populace are talking about,” Gladys said.
A male victim, identified as Adedeji, said he was on his way to Kaduna for eye treatment when the attack occurred.
After the attack which occurred on March 28, the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) had confirmed eight deaths, while 22 persons were declared “still missing” as of April 3.
On April 6, Alwan Hassan, acting managing director/chief executive officer of the Bank of Agriculture (BOA) — one of those declared missing by his relatives — was released, and his abductors had listed the Ramadan season and old age as reasons he was freed.
