UPDATE: One More Edo Train Kidnapped Victim Rescued

The Edo State Police Command has said one more victim from the Igueben train station abduction has been rescued.

The police disclosed this on Tuesday, hours after it said six of the abductees were rescued about 48 hours after the attack on Saturday.

Over 30 intending passengers were kidnapped on Saturday afternoon when gunmen attacked a train station in Igueben in Edo.

Saturday’s attack occurred months after terrorists attacked a moving train in Kaduna State on March 28, 2022. Scores of passengers were kidnapped and others killed in the dastard attack that attracted national and international outrage. The kidnapped victims were, however, freed with the last batch released in October 2022.

I am of the  opinion that these  train attack victims can be  rescued  by the agencies  within  hours but  there is a snag here. The security officials are intentionally  slow in operation  for one reason.  Giving the  fulani herdsmen  abductors  some time  to contact the families of the victims for the ransoms because  they are involved in the business  and  must benefit from the  proceeds.  This is Nigeria in case you have forgotten.
