It is the third time the terrorists would release evidence that their captives are alive.

 

The first photo was released during the release of Managing Director of Bank of Agriculture, Alwan Ali-Hassan.

 

The other was a video showing victims begging the government to grant the terrorists’ demands.

 

It was reported after the attack that 68 captives were with the bandits, including 41 women, 22 men and five children.

 

The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) is unsure of the exact number of those abducted.

 

The terrorists used clothes to block the background on the photographs as the abductees sat on a tarpaulin.

 

They blew up rail tracks on the Abuja-Kaduna route during the attack, killing eight passengers. No fewer than 41 people were injured.

 

Ali-Hassan, who is the only released captive released so far, had told those who visited him that they were subjected to five days of trekking from the attack scene to a forest in Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State.
