Attackers of an Abuja-Kaduna train carrying 362 passengers,
are now calling their victim’s relatives to get prepared for ransom.
Bandits had attacked the Kaduna bound train, killed eight,
injured 26, and kidnapped scores on Monday evening.
Some kidnapped victims’ families members, who spoke on
Thursday, said they received phone calls on Wednesday evening, telling them not
to panic over the disappearance of their loved ones, assuring them of their
safety, but that they should be ready for their calls for ransom.
Musa Abilewa, a family member of one of the kidnapped
victims, said the terrorists spoke with him, saying his brother is fine.
According to him, the bandits said he should be ready for
ransom.
“I spoke with one of the bandits who said my brother was
fine. He said I should be ready to pay for feeding my brother since he was
kidnapped,” he said sobering.
Another relative of a kidnapped victim, Mrs. Ngozi, who said
he was discharged from the hospital in Kaduna on Thursday, said the only sister
in the family was among those kidnapped.
According to him, “they called me while about to be
discharged from hospital bed early morning on Wednesday. I spoke with my sister
too, who said I should try all I could, to pay, if they demand for ransom.”
“Though I did not speak with my mother, my sister assured me
she is fine,” he said.
Another family member, Yahaya Abdul also said the bandits
called him and told him his brother was fine and that he should expect their
call.
