Kaduna Train Attack: Victims’ Relatives Stage Protest In Abuja
By Ozumi Abdul
Relatives of the Kaduna Train attack victims, on Monday, thronged the headquarters of the Ministry of Transportation in Abuja, demanding the immediate release of the captives.
This comes less than 48 hours after the kidnappers were seen in a viral video flogging the victims and threatening to kill them.
The protesters, who came in their number carrying placards with different inscriptions, prevented civil servants of the ministry from gaining access to their offices.

While none of them officially spoke to the press, they chanted songs in the Hausa language, saying ‘Buhari, help us,’ ‘Government help us,’ ‘rescue our children from kidnappers.’
Many of the protesters who were women sat on the floor at their point of convergence at the ministry.
The protesters, who arrived at the place at about 9 a.m, remained there until about 2 p.m.
A spokesperson for the protesters, Ahmed Aruwa, said they would continue to block the entrance of the Ministry of Transportation until they get a definite response from the government.
