Families, friends of 50 kidnapped train passengers protest in Kaduna

The families and friends of the remaining 50 kidnapped Abuja-Kaduna train passengers had a peaceful street protest in Kaduna to request the immediate rescue of their loved ones kept in captivity for 100days.

The agitators, who occupied the street at 7:30 am, invaded the Nagwamatse House situated along the busy Ali Akilu Road, Kaduna.

Hundreds of victims’ relatives and friends have carried placards with different inscriptions to request the release of their people.

The leader of the protest, Dr Abdulfatai Jimoh, persuaded the federal government to make sure the victims are rescued without delay.

He said, “today is exactly 100 days since our loved ones were abducted. It was meant to be a journey of two hours; however, it turned out to be 100 harrowing days. Since then things have not been the same with us.”

“If you remember, our loved ones spent their Easter in the bush, the Eid el-Fitr in the bush, and we are just three days away from Eid Kabir; we are praying they will spend the Eid Kabir with us,” he said

The Informant247 recalls that 63 passengers of Kaduna-Abuja train were abducted on March 28, 2022, after injuring 26, and killing 16 others.
