BREAKING: Terrorists Free 23 Remaining Abuja-Kaduna Train Attack Victims
On March 28, 2022, terrorists believed to be affiliated with Boko Haram freed 23 of the victims of the Kaduna train attack who were still held captive.
This information was released in a statement on Wednesday by Prof. Usman Yusuf, Secretary of the Chief of Defence Staff Action Committee (CDSAC).
According to Yusuf, the captives were freed on Wednesday at around 4 o’clock.
He said the “seven-man Presidential Committee assembled by the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General L.E.O. Irabor secured the release and took custody of all the 23 remaining passengers held hostage by Boko Haram terrorists following the attack on the Abuja to Kaduna train on 28-3-2022”.
Some terrorists on March 28 attacked the Kaduna-bound train, killing about 10 passengers and kidnapping scores of others.
“The nation owes a debt of gratitude to the Nigerian Military under the leadership of the CDS who conceived and guided the operation from start to finish. All sister security agencies and the Federal Ministry of Transportation contributed immensely to this operation,” the statement said.
