The Minister of Transportation, Mua’zu Jaji Sambo, has said no ransom was paid for the release of the remaining 23 victims of the Kaduna train attack.

The Minister disclosed this while briefing journalists in Abuja on Friday.

He said although diplomacy was involved in their release, no kobo was paid.

Recall that on March 28, 2022, terrorists planted explosive devices on the rail track, forcing the train headed for Kaduna to derail.

At least nine persons lost their lives while releases were secured at various intervals till 5th October, 2022, when the last batch of 23 victims were released.

Commenting on the development, the minister said, “On 11th August, the President Federal Republic of Nigeria received at the Presidential Villa relatives of the victims and further assurances was given to the fact that Government was working assiduously to secure the release of the remaining hostages.

“Before this visit, I have also in my capacity as the Minister of Transportation, having just resumed duty a few weeks, met and addressed the relatives of the kidnapped victims where I asked them to cooperate with security operatives if the need arises and assured them that their loved ones that has been kidnapped will be released as it is paramount to Government,” he said.

He said with their release, “this day will therefore remain memorable in the annals of the country and every person who contributed in any way to the release of the victims has every reason to be happy for contributing to the Nation’s glory.”

He noted that the FG suspended Commercial train services on that route since March.

“It is now six months and 7 days that the commercial train service on the route had been suspended and it is imperative to also let you know that the reconstruction and repairs of the damaged rail line was carried out by indigenous Engineers of the Nigerian Railway Corporation” he noted.

The Minister said with the entire victims now released, the ministry will begin the process of opening the Abuja-Kaduna train service.

He however noted that before the train service will resume, appropriate security measures will be out in place for the security of train service s.

He said in the next three months, a sustainable security architecture would have been put in place for the trains to resume.
The minister also indicated that the victims are receiving treatment and rehabilitation.

He pledged government to enable them heal.

Liar liar pants on fire !!!

Welcome to Buhari government

Telling lies comes naturally to APC
and they don't even believe that its
a crime.
❌
Officials lie everyday and they aren't
held by anybody, so lies na normal
thing.
❌
Buhari just loves Muslim religious
terrorists and most likely gave them
something more important than money.


The lives and well-being of these
terrorists and Fulani bandits is more
important to Buhari than the life of
his citizens☹️☹️☹️

I'm a guy and still a virgin at 21 but it's all about to end tonight in just a few minutes, I'll be having the best 30mins of my entire life till date.

Unbelievable!

If true, that's a good one, and we pray there will no more negotiations with those kind of people causing chaos and wrecking havoc on our society, send them straight to the other side to enjoy the fruit of their labours.
