Relatives of Abuja-Kaduna train victims protest in Abuja

Relatives of those abducted from an Abuja-bound train last March have staged a protest in Abuja, Nigeria’s federal capital. The train which took off from Kaduna was travelling to Abuja when some armed men bombed the rail track and abducted some of the passengers.

The distraught relatives said the protest was in relation to kidnappers’ threat to kill their captives.

The protesters are calling on President Muhammadu Buhari, the service chiefs and international organisations to help secure the victims’ release.
