140 abducted victims of Abuja-Kaduna train attack still in captivity (Video)
Story from Saleh INUWA, Kano
About 140 victims of the Kaduna March 28th train bomb attack are still trapped in the forest with close to 300 Boko Haram militants who took them to captivity.
Kaduna State Government had earlier released the manifest of the passengers that boarded the train, 190 people were on board the train at the time of the attack but only 398 names were found on the manifest, meaning that about 600 passengers found their way into the train through an abnormal procedure.
Three days ago, the gunmen released a press statement threatening that they will turn Kaduna to Abuja into an abattoir if the government did not immediately meet up with their demands.

Yesterday the gunmen released about 2 to 3 videos in which the victims were allowed to speak their minds, some of them are students of Kaduna State University, others are married women, and children. They urged the government and security agencies, to negotiate with the gunmen so that they can effect their release because some of them are sick and dying.
Neptune Prime can report that the synergy that existed between different security apparatus in Kaduna seems to be weak, it is expected that they should be a daily briefing, by Kaduna State Police Command and Ministry of Security and Internal Affairs to update the public on how many people are still with the bandits and how many were released.
There is also a very strong video being shown on social media of the interception of 100 million naira, money that was said to have been intercepted by security agencies, the money was a ransom to free a victim. It is already in the media that the Former Managing Director of BOA through his family paid 100 million before he was released, his family has verified this.
Similarly, a very successful operation by the Armed Forces in Kakuka near Kujama Chikun Local Government Area, that was comprehensively recorded in the video is been downplayed by those who are not aware of the operation. The Army is not taking directives from ministries but from their Army Commanders.
At the time of this report officials of the Kaduna State Government are preparing a release on an operation that was successfully carried out and widely reported by the social media.
Meanwhile, the gunmen have separated the victims, some will exchange them for money while others will be kept until the Commanders of the Boko Haram are released by the government. The DG of BON has put up his house for sale as the bandits are demanding 15 million naira from him.
