The Federal Government on Monday said securing the release of the 43 Abuja-Kaduna train passengers still held captive by terrorists was a priority to the current administration.
The Minister of Transportation, Mu’azu Sambo, stated this while addressing families of the victims of the ill-fated March 28, 2022, train attack. The families of the victims had led a peaceful protest to the ministry demanding the release of their loved ones.
“The government has not been sleeping from the enquiries I have made. There are some things you do not say in public, but I want you to give me time,” the minister stated in a statement issued in Abuja by the transportation ministry.
Sambo requested for the contacts, names, addresses and telephone numbers that he could reach, promising that he would be in constant engagement until every single person in captivity regained freedom and reunited with their families.
The minister further disclosed that a situation room would be created to constantly keep the families abreast of efforts by the government to secure the release of the remaining victims.
