File photo of abducted Abuja-Kaduna train passengers
Three passengers of the Kaduna-bound train that was attacked in March have regained freedom.
They were freed 24 hours after terrorists released a disturbing video where the victims were seen being flogged.
The released passengers, a female and two males, have reunited with their family members.
It is not clear if any ransom was paid before their release.
Commenting on their release, Kaduna-based Publisher, Tukur Mamu, said, “Yes three victims have been released, a female and two male. But remember I’m not part of the negotiation that led to their freedom.”
Mamu had announced withdrawal from the negotiation, citing threat to his life. (Text, excluding headline: Daily trust)
