Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The earlier threat to stop feeding the over 60 abducted passengers of the Abuja-Kaduna bound train and to start executing the victims has been withdrawn.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson of Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, Malam Tukur Mamu, the \u2018Dan Iyan Fika, confirmed to DAILY POST that the earlier threat by the abductors of the ill-fated train passengers to start killing them had been withdrawn.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Ahmad Gumi\u2019s spokesman, who was privileged to open a channel of communication with the terrorists through one of their leaders, Abu Barra, explained that, \u201cI can authoritatively confirm that the earlier threat to stop feeding the over 60 abducted passengers of the Abuja-Kaduna bound train and threat to start executing the victims was successfully withdrawn on Saturday afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Malam Tukur Mamu further explained that it was as a result of ongoing engagement with the Abu Barra-led abductors.<\/p>\n

According to him, a temporary truce that would enable government facilitate action was indeed reached with the abductors.<\/p>\n

As a result of serious and frank engagement, he said the bandits had agreed to continue to take care of their victims, including providing them with medical first aid services.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Ahmad Gumi\u2019s spokesman confirmed that the bandits gave the government another two weeks, effective from Monday, 30th May, to release their teenage children before any talk that may lead to the release of some of their victims.<\/p>\n

Tukur Mamu urged the government do the needful, as soon as possible, as many of the victims have serious health challenges in view of the rainy season.<\/p>\n

The spokesman explained that his decision to accept the mediation efforts was purely on humanitarian grounds and as part of the sacrifice and commitment of Sheikh Dr. Ahmad Gumi to contribute to lasting peace and security across the North, especially the North West.<\/p>\n

He further explained that in view of the encouraging development, it remains to be seen how government would react to ensure the immediate release of the kidnapped victims that have now spent two months in captivity.<\/p>\n
