Seven more abducted passengers of the March 28 train attack in Kaduna state have regained their freedom.

Okay.ng gathered that relatives of the victims were made to pick them up after they were released at a location inside the forest along the Kaduna – Abuja highway.

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

The names of the six family members that were released are Abubakar Idris Garba who is the father of the four kids released, 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.

It can be recalled that bandits 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.
