Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani has alleged that the bloodthirsty armed men, who abducted passengers of the Abuja-Kaduna train, were \u2018jihadist\u2019 terrorists.<\/p>\n

Recall that the assailants, who attacked the train on its way to Kaduna State on March 27, killed some passengers, injured scores while over hundred were kidnaped.<\/p>\n

The bandits have in a recent video, asked the Federal Government to act fast, else the abductees would be killed, saying they are not after ransom.<\/p>\n

However, the Kaduna State governorship aspirant in the forthcoming 2023 general elections said the video shows the criminal elements are not just bandits.<\/p>\n

In a tweet on his verified Twitter handle, the former lawmaker, who represented Kaduna Central, at the 8th assembly, called on relevant authorities to ensure that those abducted are freed.<\/p>\n

The tweet reads, \u201cThe video footage of the Train terrorists & their hostages making demands to the Government confirmed the fact that the cruel abductors were not just bandits but \u2018Jihadist\u2019 terrorists.<\/p>\n

\u201cAuthorities must walk the tight rope of freeing the hostages without bowing to terrorists\u201d.<\/p>\n
