We’re considering suicide, say relatives of abducted train passengers

Relatives and friends of abducted passengers of the Abuja-Kaduna AK-9 train, on Thursday, begged the Federal Government to speed up the process of the release of the remaining 50 hostages who had so far spent 87 days with terrorists.

The PUNCH reported that the bandits had penultimate Saturday released 11 out of the 61 abductees, leaving 50 in their den.

However, the relatives and friends of the abducted passengers said some of them are contemplating suicide while thinking of the harrowing experience the remaining 50 hostages were going through.

Addressing journalists in Kaduna on Thursday, Dr. Abdulfatai Jimoh, who spoke on behalf of other families, said their joy would know no bounds if the remaining 50 hostages are set free by their captors in the shortest time possible.
