This is the second video the terrorists have released since the abduction of the train passengers 14 days ago.
The bandits, who appear to be in a forest within the precinct of the Abuja-Kaduna highway, paraded their victims many of whom appear unwell and injured.
One of the passengers who was asked to speak to a camera said: “We’re the passengers from Abuja heading towards Kaduna and were abducted. We have sick ones, old and young; a mother and her children. Only God knows what we have been through here,” one of the victims pleaded.
“Please, we are pleading that the government meet their needs and rescue us,” the passenger added.
Another passenger, a young lady, said she is a student of the Kaduna State University and was returning to school when she was abducted.
A woman, who says she worked with the Defence Industry Corporation of Nigeria (DICON), also spoke and appealed to the government to heed the demand of the terrorists.
The undated video also showed the Managing Director of the Bank of Agriculture, Alwan Ali-Hassan, who has since been released by the bandits, also pleading that the government pays attention to the terrorists.
Unconfirmed reports indicated that the terrorists may be demanding a prisoner exchange deal.
