Eleven out of the 61 persons kidnapped
following the March 28 Abuja-Kaduna
train attack have regained their freedom.
While the circumstance of their release
remains sketchy, it was gathered that the
11 victims have been flown to the nation’s
capital, Abuja.
It would be recalled that news had made
the round during that some of the
abducted were released, but was quickly
debunked by their family members.
Among those who regained their freedom
are six females and five males.
The attack, which occurred on March 28
at Dutse forest in Chikun local council, left
eight people dead and 26 others injured
while scores of passengers went missing.
Among the first set of persons released
earlier after the kidnap was the Managing
Director of the Nigerian Bank of
Agriculture, Alwan Hassan whom the
bandits claimed was freed due to his old
age.
