Bandits Set Date To Execute Abuja-Kaduna Train Attack Victims | READ DETAILS
A bandit group, Ansaru terrorists which had claimed to be responsible for the abduction of the Abuja-Kaduna train passengers in March this year, have again threatened to slaughter the remaining 51 victims still in their custody as the Federal Government has continued to delay in heeding to their request.
Recall that a negotiator, Tukur Mamu had raised alarm over the health condition of the victims who according to him, were being bitten by snakes and reptiles, adding that one of the victims that was shot served as a warning to the Federal Government to hasten their response to the agreement.
However, in an audio in circulation, which is believed to be a voice of one of the group members, they threatened to slaughter the victims because the government failed to seek for their release.
Mamu, who is also a Kaduna based publisher, confirmed to DAILY POST on Wednesday, that the audio was real and that the group had fixed Wednesday (today) to carry out the threat.
According to him, “they became provoked on Monday after giving us another opportunity.”
“I was crying and pleading with them that since there is a delay from the government, they should discuss with the family members directly to negotiate the victims’ release.
“Based on the plea, they agreed to negotiate directly with the victims’ families.
“But they said they are giving us till Wednesday, that if there was nothing concrete from those that are interested in the negotiation, they will start slaughtering some of the victims,” he said.
