Terrorists showcase abducted victims from Abuja-Kaduna train attack (Video)
Terrorists who attacked an Abuja-Kaduna train on March 28 where eight people were confirmed killed and scores of others injured and abducted, have released a fresh video of the hostages in an unidentified location.
After releasing a video where they showed the Chief Executive Officer of Nigeria’s Bank of Agriculture, Alwan Ali-Hassan, who was recently released, the terrorists released another video where they showed the other abductees in a location suspected to be their hideout in a forest.
In the first video, one of the terrorists who spoke on their behalf, had said they decided to release Ali-Hassan out of compassion because he was an elderly man and in the spirit of Ramadan, but a few days later, there were rumours that his family had paid the sum of N100 million as ransom for his release

In the latest video released on Monday, the masked terrorists who did not claim affiliation to any group unlike in the past, were clear in demanding that the government should meet their demands before they would release their victims.
Some of the abducted victims were made to face the camera calling on the Federal Goverment to do everything possible to rescue them from their abductors.
A lady who identified herself as a student of Kaduna State University, is heard begging the state government to rescue them while another man revealed that he was on his way to Kaduna for eye treatment when he was abducted.
