The Minister of Transportation, Engr Mu’azu Sambo, has said that the Abuja-Kaduna train service will remain suspended until the federal government install security measures to forestall future reoccurrences of train attacks in the country.
Speaking against the backdrop of the release of the remaining 23 train passengers kidnapped by terrorists, Engr. Sambo, said the security measures which will include short and long term plans will secure train services across the country, with the short term taking effect by the end of October.
He, however, reiterated that no ransome was paid for their release and all 23 released passengers have been reunited with their families after proper medical check-up and examination.
Speaking further, Sambo said President Muhammadu Buhari met with the freed kidnap victims in Kaduna after the commissioning ceremony for Cadets of the 69 Regular Course at Afaka, Kaduna State.
Sambo who was overjoyed over the safe release of the victims, said the objective of the Government was to get them out safely without collateral damage.
He added that a Committee made up of some retired Generals and high ranking retired public officers assisted the Military and Security Agencies to facilitate the process of securing the release of the victims.
Commenting on the development, the Minister said:” I have also in my capacity as the Minister of Transportation, having just resumed duty a few weeks, met and addressed the relatives of the kidnap victims where I asked them to cooperate with Security operatives whenever the need arose and assured them that they would be reunited with their loved ones as it remained paramount objective of the Government of President Muhammadu Buhari”

“ With their release, this day will therefore, remain memorable in the annals of our Nation’s history and every person who has contributed in any way to the release of the victims has every reason to be happy for contributing to the Nation’s glory”, the Minister said.

 

Reacting to questions as to why the released 23 victims were not at the Ministry of Transportation during the briefing, the Minister said they were supposed to be at the Ministry, but certain things needed to be done like taking them to the hospital for treatment, adding that after the President saw them in kaduna they were reunited with their families, making it a bit difficult to gather them.
