Terrorists have released 11 of the abducted passengers of the Abuja-Kaduna train attacked by the insurgents on March 28, 2022.
They were released after a negotiation between the terrorists and the Nigerian government.
Among those who regained their freedom were six female and five male.
No fewer than 61 passengers were abducted by the terrorists after eight people were killed in the ill-fated train attack.
The release of the 11 passengers was made known by Malam Tukur Mamu, publisher and media consultant to Sheikh Ahmad Gumi.
According to him, the 11 victims had been flown to Abuja for medical evaluation and treatment on the orders of President Muhammadu Buhari.
They will later be re-united with their families after the medical evaluation.
The terrorists had demanded that the Nigerian government released their children in a remand home and some of their arrested fighters.
