Abductors of train passengers release three more captives

Terrorists who about three  months ago attacked an Abuja-Kaduna train and kidnapped over 60 passengers on Monday released three more captives.

Some 20 victims had earlier been released at different times after their families were reportedly made to pay ransom.

A relative of one of the latest released victims told the BBC that those freed included two men and a woman.

This is coming about 24 hours after a video was released showing how the remaining kidnapped train passengers were being flogged and dehumanised.

While disclosing the news to the BBC, the relative said the released victims were on the way to a health facility for medical examination

The BBC report said there was no detailed explanation on the condition met before the additional three victims were released.
