Terrorists have released footage where they were beating the remaining 43 passengers of the Abuja-Kaduna train kidnapped on March 28, 2022.
The brazen terrorists claimed that the government is trying to evade “negotiations” and adopt force in releasing the captives. They, however, blamed President Muhammadu Buhari for delaying the negotiation process.

WikkiTimes learnt that the video was made available to family members of the kidnapped victims Saturday evening.
The captives as seen in the video were seated in a bushy area as terrorists unleashed mayhem on them. A female captive who spoke in the video called upon the president to come to their aid.
Amid the government’s negligence, another captive, a male, pleaded for support from international communities like the United Nations (UN) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

Last month, 11 captives were released. A few weeks later, another seven were set free after paying N100 million in ransom.
Buhari and El-rufai on watchlist
In another video released by the terrorists, Nigeria’s president, Buhari and the governor of Kaduna State, Nasiru El-rufai were named as the next targets, according to TheCable.
They vowed to shift attention to high-profile citizens and also sell off their captives as slaves should government fail to comply with them.
“This is our message to the government of Nigeria and just as you have seen these people here, by God’s grace, you will see your leaders; your senators and governors will come before us,” said one of the terrorists.

He added: “These ones you are seeing here, we will keep some as our slaves and sell them off just as our Imam told you in the past.
“Just like the Chibok girls that were sold off, we will equally sell these ones as slaves. If you don’t adhere to our demands, we will kill the ones we need to kill and sell the remaining.
“By God’s grace, el-Rufai, Buhari, we will bring them here.”
