He said efforts were being made to secure his release with others still in captivity.
Meanwhile, the terrorists who kidnapped passengers on board the Abuja-Kaduna train have asked the government to release their children allegedly kept in a Yola detention facility.
They threatened to start killing the passengers in captivity if their demands were not met within seven days.
The terrorist attacked the Abuja bound train heading to Kaduna on 28th March 2022.
The Nation reports that leaders of the terrorists spoke via phone calls to Malam Tukur Mamu, the spokesman of Sheikh Ahmad Gumi.
In the audio conversations between Malam Tukur Mamu and the leaders of the terrorists Abu Barra, Barra claimed that the Federal Government suspended the resumption of the train service because of their threats. He said, “The government suspended the resumption of the train service indefinitely because of our threats and we repeat if our conditions are not met, the resumption of the train service is to the detriment of the government and the passengers.
“We don’t need money. We have a good reason for doing what we did, until our demands are met none of the victims will come out alive even if it means we all die with them. They are well taken care of as you can see from the pictures we sent to you via WhatsApp but we assure you that this will not continue.
“We choose you (Tukur Mamu) to convey this important message to the government, the families of the victims and Nigerians in general because we believe you won’t alter our message and we have seen you severally with Sheikh Gumi in the forest, therefore, we recognized the fearlessness in you.”
