Kaduna Train Attack: Terrorists Free 23 Captives
Terrorists have on Wednesday freed 23 remaining captives of the Kaduna train attack.
This was made known by the Secretary of the Chief of Defence Staff Action Committee, Usman Yusuf.
Yusuf disclosed that the hostages were released at about 4pm on Wednesday.
He added that the committee took the custody of the victims who were kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists during an attack on a moving passenger train in Kaduna on March 28, 2022.
The terrorists, who attacked the AK9 Train in Kaduna, had before now released hostages in piecemeal with the last release being on August 19, 2022.
The insurgents had blown up the rail track and bombed the moving train, killing some and abducting more than 60 passengers. The unprecedented attack had attracted international and national outrage.
This was followed by serial protests by family members to demand the release of their loved ones.
