A family member of the remaining Kaduna-Abuja train
abduction victims, currently in captivity, has cried to the federal government
to prevail on the Department of State Services to urgently release the arrested
bandit negotiator to assist in the release of his relative.
Speaking in Kaduna, Yusufu Musa begged the
federal government to help release Tukur Mamu to assist in the release of his
sister and other victims still held captive.
However, the federal government, through the Minister of
Police Affairs, Mohammed Maigari Dingiyadi, has assured the victims’ families
that the arrest of the publisher of the Desert Herald, Tukur Mamu, will not
hinder efforts to release victims of the Kaduna train attack.
Dingiyadi stated this immediately after the NSC meeting
presided by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Council Chambers of the
Presidential Villa on Thursday.
Recall that there is currently apprehension among many Nigerians
that the remaining Kaduna-Abuja train victims may not be released following the
arrest of Mamu, the bandit negotiator, over allegations of terrorism.
Recall that over 60 Kaduna-Abuja train
passengers were abducted in March 2022. Since then, they have been released in
batches, through the publisher of the Kaduna-based Desert Herald Newspapers,
Mamu, leaving 22 others still in captivity.
A few days ago, Mamu was arrested in Egypt on his way to
Hajj and later released. He was, however, picked up again by the DSS upon
arrival at the Nigerian airport.
