Abuja-Kaduna train: FG Still negotiating with bandits – Presidency

The Federal Government has assured relatives of kidnapped Abuja-Kaduna train attack victims, that negotiation with bandits is ongoing to ensure their safe return

Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and publicity, Garba Shehu disclosed this while featuring on Channels TV’s “Politics Today”, on Friday.

He said the Federal Government was aware that there had been pressure from the family members of those who have been taken captive, adding that, “of course this is expected. This acts as a pressure on one of the people involved in the discussion with the terrorists to ensure a safe release of those that have been held.”

He said the government had spoken about the fact that negotiations were ongoing, “although a bit difficult, but we hope that we return to normalcy.”
