The terrorists who attacked an Abuja-Kaduna train on March 28 yesterday released four photos of their captives, TheNation reports.

In the photos, 62 of the kidnapped victims are seen in four groups.

TheNation reports that the first photo has 23 persons, including five children (two females and three males) and 18 women, including the 85-year-old woman said to be diabetic.

The second photo shows 17 men, including a foreigner while the third photo shows six of the victims sitting, one of whom has a bandage wrapped on his right leg.

The fourth photo shows 16 people.

According to reports, this is the third time the terrorists would release evidence that their captives are alive.

The first photo was released during the release of Managing Director of Bank of Agriculture, Alwan Ali-Hassan.

The other was a video showing victims begging the government to grant the terrorists’ demands.

It was reported after the attack that 68 captives were with the bandits, including 41 women, 22 men and five children.

However, the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) is unsure of the exact number of those abducted.

Thelagostimes recalls that the terrorists blew up rail tracks on the Abuja-Kaduna route during the attack, killing eight passengers.
