Bandits who attacked the Abuja-Kaduna bound train on March 28 have paraded their victims in an unidentified location suspected to be a forest.
In a video obtained by Channels TV, the gunmen were seen putting on military camouflage and uniforms. The undated video also showed the Managing Director of the Bank of Agriculture, Alwan Ali-Hassan, who has since been released by the bandits.
The bandits made their captives call on the government to come to their rescue. One of the victims is a young lady who identified herself as a student of Kaduna State University.
Another is a man who said he was on his way to Kaduna for eye treatment.
“We’re the passengers from Abuja heading towards Kaduna and were abducted. We have sick ones, old and young; a mother and her children. Only God knows what we have been through here,” one of the victims pleaded.
“Please, we are pleading that the government meet their needs and rescue us.”
So far, the victims have spent at least 13 days in the bush with their abductors.
