Kidnappers have released new photos of the abducted Abuja- Kaduna train passengers.
The three photos currently trending on social media are believed to have been released on Monday night, April 25.
The victims were abducted when bandits attacked a Kaduna-bound train on March 28.
Eight passengers were killed during the train attack, while a yet-to-be-confirmed number of persons were kidnapped.
In one of the pictures, the victims were women and kids seated on the floor while the second picture showed men, with half of them standing and the other half seated.
Abdulfatai Jimoh, chairman of the forum of the abductees’ families, confirmed that the pictures were just released.
“Yes, the pictures are true. They are pictures of the victims. I’ve seen them. The one of the men and the ones of women and children,” Jimoh said.
He added that the families were still praying that the victims are found safely.
However, a family member of one of the victims said that they have been disturbed since the photos emerged.
“We have been praying for him and others day and night,” he said.
Another family member of one of the abducted passengers who gave his name as Yunusa Mohammed, said: “We are really disturbed when we saw her picture. How can we be happy? We just want her to be released with others unhurt.”
It was gathered that some of the elderly among the abducted passengers have complained about their deteriorating health conditions.
A disturbed relation also told the publication that his uncle was among the abducted passengers and his health is worsening.
“He spoke when the second video was released on the need to hasten their release in view of the fact that his health is deteriorating. He was among the elders in one of the pictures,” he said.
