A former military administrator of Kaduna state, Col. Abubakar Dangiwa Unar (rtd) has enjoined the federal government to do more to rescue hostages of the recent Abuja-Kaduna train attack.
In a statement on Wednesday, Col Umar described the pictures of the hostages that are trending on social media as most disturbing.
“Pictures of the hostages abducted in the 28 March Abuja- Kaduna train attack are trending in the social media.
“The pictures, to say the least, are most disturbing, particularly as they show exhausted and frightened women and children under the most harrowing conditions.
” I appeal to the Federal government to do more to secure the immediate release of these innocent victims.
“I also appeal to the international community, particularly the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), to assist in the negotiations which will be needed to effect that release.
“May God touch the hearts of the kidnappers to show mercy on these innocent and vulnerable victims,” the statement reads.
