No fewer than 11 abducted passengers of the Abuja-Kaduna train have been released by their captors.
PLATFORM TIMES reports that the release of the 11 passengers happened
three days after the terrorists released two passengers of the ill-fated train.
Some gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram insurgents had on March 28 detonated an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in the train and forced it to derail a few minutes into the trip.
Eight persons were confirmed dead, 30 injured and several others abducted by the criminals.
Malam Tukur Mamu, the media consultant for the controversial Islamic cleric, Ahmad Gumi, confirmed the development to journalists on Saturday.
He said the 11 victims had been flown to Abuja for medical attention on the order of President Muhammadu Buhari.
