Abductors of Abuja-Kaduna train passengers release new video showing victims’ torture

Following the refusal of the government to comply with calls for their release, the kidnappers of passengers on a train from Abuja destined for Kaduna on March 28 have released a new video depicting the torture of the remaining victims still held captive.

The kidnap victims were seen being severely beaten and tortured by the bandits in the video that the terrorists posted on Sunday morning. It appears that the bandits were enraged because the authorities had not yet complied with their demands.
On the torture video, the victims can be heard pleading with the Nigerian government to take action on their behalf because the terrorists have given them just one week before they will begin killing them if their demands are not met.

This is not the first time the kidnappers have threatened to kill the victims as they have on numerous occasions, warned that they would kill them if their demands were not met.

The last time they issued such a threat, it took the intervention of Tukur Mamu who is also a media aide to Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi for them to back down on their threats.

Mamu’s efforts have also seen the release of some of the captives but he had also vowed to back out of negotiations with the terrorists as the government has been reluctant to open up channels of discussions with the abductors for the release of the victims.
