One of the family members of the seven kidnapped passengers of the Abuja-Kaduna train recently released, says over N100 million was paid to faceless myrmidons for each before they were released.
The faceless myrmidons on Saturday released the victims after spending over 100 days in captivity.
On March 28, a train on its way from Abuja to Kaduna was attacked by terrorists. Several persons were killed, dozens injured, while others were kidnapped.
Eleven of the kidnapped passengers had earlier been released in June.
The newly-freed passengers are Muhammad Paki, Bosede Olurotimi, Abubakar Zubairu, Alhassan Sule, Sadiq Ango Abdullahi, Aliyu Usman and Muhammad Abuzar Afzal, a Pak.
"It’s so sad, each family paid over N100m each, they were not just released. Now they demanding N100m for others.
"We had no option but to pay after they (kidnapped passengers) were abandoned by the government," the source told SaharaReporters.
There are 43 more victims of the train incident being held captive by terrorists.
