The remaining 23 victims of the March 28 Kaduna-Abuja train attack have been released, according to the Secretary of the Chief of Defence Staff Action Committee, Prof Usman Yusuf.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nThey were released around 4 pm on Wednesday with the aid of a seven-man Presidential Committee assembled by the Chief of Defense Staff (CDS) General Leo Irabor.<\/div>\n
\nThey have been in terrorists den since March 28 when their train was bombed.<\/p>\n

A statement by Prof. said the rescued victims are with the government.<\/p>\n

The statement said, \u201cI am pleased to announce to the nation and the world that at 4:00 pm today, Wednesday, October 5, 2022, the seven-man Presidential Committee assembled by the Chief of Defense Staff General Irabor, secured the release and took custody of all the 23 remaining passengers held hostage by Boko Haram terrorists following the attack on the Abuja to Kaduna train on March 28, 2022.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\u201cThe nation owes a debt of gratitude to the Nigerian Military under the leadership of the CDS who conceived and guided the operation from start to finish. All sister Security Agencies and the Federal Ministry of Transportation contributed immensely to this Operation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement did not say how the military secured the release of the victims.<\/p>\n

Yusuf, however, added that the President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s support made it possible to secure the release of the victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe unwavering support of the President and Commander in Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces, President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR is what made it all possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cMembers of this Committee are grateful for the rare honour and privilege to be part of this Humanitarian Operation. May God Almighty Heal Our Wounds and Bring Peace to Our Land,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
