In the new video, the recently released Chief Executive Officer of Nigeria’s Bank of Agriculture, Alwan Ali-Hassan, is accompanied by other abductees.

In the video posted on Sunday, the masked terrorists wore military uniforms and stood behind the abductees.

Some of the detainees were seen pleading with the administration to save them.

One of them is a lady who claims to be a Kaduna State University student.

Another man claimed he was on his way to Kaduna for eye surgery when he was abducted.

The attack on the train between Abuja and Kaduna on March 28 saw the terrorists detonate a bomb on the track and open fire on the train.

As of Monday, April 4, the whereabouts of 168 passengers are still unknown, according to the Nigerian Railway Corporation.

In a statement last Sunday, the NRC said of the 362 passengers on board the train when it was attacked, 186 had been confirmed safe.

“Of the 362 validated passengers on board the attacked AK9 train service on March 28, 186 persons on the manifest are confirmed to be safe and at their various homes,” it said.

The NRC said of the remaining 176 passengers, eight have been confirmed dead, leaving the whereabouts of 168 still unknown.

The speaker in the first video stated that they chose to release Ali-Hassan as a “Ramadan gesture” and because of his “old age.”

Despite the speaker’s claim that no ransom was paid for Ali’s release, Hassan’s family sources allege that the captors demanded money.

The masked guys claim no association with any organization, yet the recording closely matches terrorist propaganda videos from the northeastern Nigerian insurgency, which has lasted more than a decade.

One of the men begins with an Arabic prayer, which is the same as in all past terrorist propaganda videos. The gunmen’s location with the captive is likewise identical.
