    IBADAN, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Bandits have released seven more kidnapped passengers of the Abuja-Kaduna train attack on Wednesday morning

    It is however not clear if any ransom was paid to the terrorists for their release.

    Although the police authorities are yet to confirm the development, a  member of the negotiating team, Tukur Mamu told Channels Television that six of the released hostages are members of the same family, which include a couple and their four children.

    The father of the four kids, Abubakar, is the son of a former Military Administrator of Kano and Benue States, Major General Chris Garba, and also a staff of the National Assembly Commission.

    The terrorists also released a 60-year-old woman, one Hajia Aisha Hassan who was said to have been freed due to life-threatening health challenges that deteriorated recently.

    The names of the six family members that were released are Abubakar Idris Garba who is the father of the four kids, his wife Maryama Abubakar Bobbo and their eldest son, Ibrahim Abubakar Garba who is 10 years old.

    Others include Fatima Abubakar Garba, 7 years, Imran Abubakar Garba, 5 years old and youngest Zainab Abubakar Garba who is only one and half years.

    So far, 42 victims have regained their freedom. The number of those still in captivity now stands at 35.

    Gunmen had on March 28 blown up the rail track, killing some and abducting scores of passengers, a situation that called for serious concern about the safety of the nation’s trains.
