Fred Harrison, Abuja
The terrorists who attacked the Abuja-Kaduna train on March 28 have released four of the abductees.
The Media Consultant to Islamic Cleric, Sheik Gumi, and Publisher of the Desert Herald Newspaper, Tukur Namu, made the disclosure on Friday.
Those released according to him are 90 year 90-year-old Mama Halimatu Atta; her daughter, Adama Atta Aliyu; a Sokoto indigene, Alhaji Modin Modi Bodinga; and Mohammed Sani Abdulmaji (M.S Ustaz).
He said all all the newly released visited his office in Kaduna to show gratitude to him for the role he played in securing their release,
He called on the Federal Government to embark on immediate measures to secure the release of the rest 23 victims being held under harsh conditions in the forest.
Mamu said that a Terrorists commander has indicated interest in marrying a 21 year old abducted and could marry her any moment from now if steps are not taken to ensure her immediate release.
He said that her situation might be like that of Leah Sharibu who the terrorists are holding for refusing to renounce are faith.
“This is to alert the Federal Government and especially the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) that I can confirm through credible information at my disposal that if urgent action is not taken to immediately secure the release of the youngest victim of the train attack, a 21-year-old Azurfa Lois John, the abductors as they have done in the case of Leah Sharibu are planning to marry her any moment from now.
“One of the top commanders is said to be in love with her. This important information should be treated with the urgency it deserves.
“Even though I know that releasing this information will not only unsettle her immediate family and loved ones but Nigerians as a whole, it is necessary to do so to avoid the repeat of Leah Sharibu’s case.
“I advise CAN in particular not to politicised this issue or reduce it to mere press releases as I have seen in the past but to work closely with relevant authorities to engage the abductors on her case as soon as possible before it is late.
“I pray that in view of the uncertainties which are becoming alarming, the Federal Government will also act very fast to ensure the release of all the remaining victims,” Mamu stated.
