We Are Relying On God For Release Of Remaining 35 Kidnapped Train Passengers – Nigerian Government.

The Nigerian government has stated that it is relying on God as plans have been concluded to secure the release of the remaining 35 Kaduna-Abuja train passengers who were kidnapped by terrorists on March 28, 2022.

SaharaReporters had reported that terrorists attacked the Abuja-Kaduna train with more than 300 passengers onboard, killing eight and kidnapping 77 passengers while dozens were injured.So far, 42 of the victims have been released after millions of naira were paid as ransoms while 35 were still in the terrorists’ captivity.

But addressing journalists on the sidelines of the World Maritime Day, Thursday, the Minister of Transportation, Engr. Mu’azu Sambo, raised the hope of the families of the remaining abductees, assuring them that very soon they would regain their freedom.

According to Leadership report, the minister recalled that on his resumption day in office, the relatives of the victims blocked him from gaining access, hence he pledged that he would ensure the release of their loved ones.

He said, “I recall that on the first day of my resumption, I was going to resume, the families of the victims blocked the road to the office and I made the pledge before God and before them that all power lies with God but I will do everything within my powers to seek for secondary power from almighty God to get their relatives released and reunited with them.

“This will happen by the grace of God. I won’t say more than that. It will happen sooner than we expected and we all know that six months is a long time for loved ones to remain in such traumatic condition. All of us are believers in God and he knows whatever befalls his creation and it’s to him alone we ask for help.


“He has never failed when we ask him and I am so sure of that and I have no doubt in my mind and by the power God possesses, those who are still in captivity will soon be reunited with their families and like I told Nigerians, the live of one Nigerian is more important than the rail service we are providing, so I don’t want anyone to think of how much we are losing.”

According to him, serious efforts, which he could not elaborate on, were on to ensure that the victims of the unfortunate incident got reunited with their families.

Sambo also debunked recent media reports that the Federal Government was losing over N30billion as monthly revenue due the stoppage of train services on the Abuja-Kaduna route following the March 28 incident.

Failed country. After initially blaming God for his failures in the beginning of his inglorious administration Buhari is now relying on same God to do his work for him. Buhari really destroyed Nigeria.

Just imagine the kind of irresponsibility governance has become in Nigeria today especially under this useless regime. Why shifting your constitutional responsibility to God?

Is this what they would have been saying if it were their own selves, children or family members that were kidnapped? What have the citizens done to deserve this for goodness sake?

Meanwhile, they go about with armed-to-the-teeth security personnel for their own safety and protection right? Yet the safety of the hapless downtrodden citizens are now God’s concern?

The Nigerian Constitution is clear on the issue of security. It is govt exclusive responsibility hence it mandates that the security and safety of citizens shall be the primary role of government. So if the govt can no longer guarantee this, why not resign and allow God to take over the governance of Nigeria?

Itzurboi:
Can you imagine
Terrible Government I tell you. There is a reason the security agencies are authorised to bear arms to fight internal or external aggression but not in this government of terrorists and terrorist sympathizers.

What is the rationale for amnesty for bandits or terrorists if not more criminality? How many Fulani killers have been imprisoned or executed for all their bloodshed & killings? Atrocious and treasonable elements committing heinous crime against the state are being pampered while the beleaguered citizens continue to suffer.

Do they share their loots with God? Or have they been paying God salary to make such a reckless statement.
This is an indictment on the part of Buhari and the National Assembly should have done the needful since last year. Pathetic!

Hehehe.

You are now relying on God to do your work,but you will rely on the people to vote you into office.

Useless government,I don't blame you guys at all,is the people that are still supporting APC I blame.

APC should be apologising to Nigerians,not seeking for power,they have no business campaigning.

This meaning of surrender is not acceptable. Lack of planning for security is the cause of insecurity. Former IG of police Mike okiro affirmed it when he said when he inaugurated the anti- terrorism unit in 2008, it was widely criticized by a section of the media and some overtly religious people as been targeted to some parts of the country. And so the government refuse to fund it.
