PHOTOS: Terrorists release pictures of Kaduna train attack victims

The suspected terrorists, who attacked the Abuja-Kaduna bound train on March 28, 2022, have released pictures of the abducted victims.

The pictures of the victims taken with an Infinix Ai Camera were released two weeks after the terrorists released a video showing the abductees in captivity.

The kidnapped victims, in the video clip, called on the Federal Government to come to their rescue.

The gunmen further threatened to kill the abductees if the Federal Government did not meet their demands.

The relatives of the victims later appealed to the government to ensure the release of their loved ones from captivity, but the abductees have not regained freedom.

However, in the pictures released by the gunmen on Tuesday, no fewer than 20 men were seen in a strange environment, while another picture captured about 18 women with five children.
