Kidnappers have released the video of passengers abducted during the recent attack on a train in Kaduna en route to Abuja with the abductees appealing to the government to come to their rescue.
The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) had confirmed eight deaths and declared 22 persons “still missing” as of April 3 after the attack that occurred on March 28, this year.
On April 6, Alwan Hassan, acting managing director/chief executive officer of the Bank of Agriculture — one of those who were declared missing — was released.
The abductors had also reached out to family members of captives to demand various amounts as ransom.
In a video obtained by HumAngle on Sunday, some of the victims are seen seated on the floor and surrounded by armed persons in what looks like a large forest area.
The BOA MD is also seen in the video, which has more than 20 persons seated on the bare floor.
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 the government should listen to the security concerns raised by citizens.
“What happened on Monday was needless if the government would have a listening ear and accede to what the populace is talking about,” Gladys said.
Another victim, identified as Adedeji, said he was on his way to Kaduna for eye treatment when the attack occurred.
