KanyiDaily had reported how a train heading from Abuja to Kaduna was attacked by terrorists who killed nine of the passengers and abducted 60 of them on March 28.
No fewer than 30 of the victims have reportedly been released in batches after the payment of N100m ransom each to the terrorists.
In a tweet on Thursday, August 11, the presidency announced that “President@MBuhari is meeting with representatives of victims of the Abuja-Kaduna Train abduction.”
The development comes barely 24 hours after the terrorists released seven hostages, including a family of six and a woman from the Abuja-Kaduna train attack.
