Buhari govt knows what we want – Kidnappers of Abuja-Kaduna train passengers

The kidnappers of Abuja-Kaduna bound train passengers have sent a message to the Nigerian government.

The group said they don’t want money, adding that the Buhari government knows what they want.

In a video released by the assailants on Wednesday, the bandits stated that the government knew what they wanted, and threatened to kill the victims if the demands were not met.

One of the bandits, who spoke in Hausa language, said the MD was released due to his age and in the spirit of Ramadan.

“We are the group that recently abducted passengers on the train. Among them is this man that has been pleading with us due to his old age and we felt pity on him because of the month of Ramadan, so, we want to give him back to his family,” they said in the video.

Another bandit, who was amongst others in military uniform, concurred with what their leader said, and asked the FG not to investigate them, else, the victims will be killed.

He said, “I want to reiterate that what he said is true. Don’t try to investigate us immediately or to rescue them because killing them is not an issue for us.

“We don’t want your money, if we wanted money, we wouldn’t have carried out the attack. You know what we want”.
