He however said they had killed about 10 snakes and two scorpions within the enclaves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of the snakes were killed by our captors, so the information that we were beaten by snakes is false as no one was beaten by a snake,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Daiyabu who spoke on behalf of other released victims assured that the remaining victims are alive and well, adding that, \u201cmy mother, who is battling with high blood pressure, almost collapsed when she heard that the victims were being bitten by snakes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He clarified that one of the captives was shot through an accidental discharge by one of their captors\u2019 children while playing with a gun. \u201cThe bullet brushed one of us on the stomach, but thank God it did not go through. Our abductors were very worried when the incident happened and they apologized for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He frowned at the way false reports were circulated in the media, which he said was causing more harm than good for the victims still in captivity.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201cafter my release, I heard many stories which were not true. Being in captivity is not something you will wish for your enemy. Immediately we were captured, our captors untied us and kept telling us that their issues are not with us, but with the government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey took care of us, they did not beat, harm, or maltreat us and in the 100 days that I spent there, they slaughtered six cows for us to feed, when we were sick, they did their best to provide drugs and what I will never forget is what they did for my pregnant wife by setting her free. This shows that they have pity in their hearts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He appealed to the government to meet their demands so that the remaining victims can be freed saying, \u201cThe most worrisome part is the fate of the remaining people left in the bush.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Released victims of the Abuja- Kaduna train attack which occurred on March 28 have narrated their experiences of how they survived 100 days in captivity.
