The bandits, who abducted passengers on a Kaduna-bound train last month, have threatened to kill them if the federal government fails to meet their demands.

In a video released on Wednesday, the armed men said they were not interested in money, adding that the Federal Government knows what they were asking for.

The video, which was less then two minutes, had four of the bandits with one of the abducted passengers – Mr Alwan Hassan, Managing Director of Bank of Agriculture.

One of them, who spoke in Hausa, said the MD was released due to his age and in the spirit of Ramadan.

Daily Trust observed that the terrorists, clad in military uniform, made the video at the Forward Operational Base in Polwire, Birnin Gwari, Kaduna State, which was attacked on Monday.

One of the Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) that was burnt during the attack was used as a background in the video.

“We are the group that kidnapped passengers on the train few days ago. Among them is this man that was pleading with us due to his old age and we felt pity on him due to the month of Ramadan, so, we want to give him back to his family.”

“But the government should not misunderstand this, as it is a gesture we made because of the pity we had on him.”

The bandits then asked the MD to make some remarks. Speaking briefly, Hassan said he was released out of pity.

“[I want to witness to everyone that they took pity on me due to my old age. I was told to go out but I want to assure everyone that I left huge number of people behind and they are in situation that requires help for them to be released fast. I hope that government will meet the head of this group to release as them as soon as possible[/b],” he said

One of the bandits added, “I want to reiterate that what he said is true. Don’t try to try to investigate us immediately or to rescue them because killing them is not an issue for us. We don’t want your money, if we want money, we wouldn’t have carried out the attack. You know what we want,” he said

It's all about money, they have no purpose. This is even worse atleast boko haram use to jave a purpose even though it was stupid and meaningless but these ones will watch the world burn just for money.

It is finished

Bihari APC Una see Una life? Meanwhile, Nigerians are about to make a bigger mistake next year, based on tribal sentiments and religious bias. We haven't moved forward since 2015
We only moved far backwards

Wonderful

From the tone of the message which is directed at the Buhari led FG, it is clear that the government had a hand in all the atrocities committed by the deadly groups all the while.

We will like to appeal to the bandits to open up on what they want from Buhari may be we can help put pressure on Government if it would end this unfortunate problem that has rendered our troops useless and citizens unsafe.

And some fools want Tinubu to take power from Buhari , this country is truly coursed

The diaper-wearing cocaine trafficker from Iragbiji took part in bringing the incompetent, cursed dullard as president and look at the current state the brainless Sudanese plague has turned the nation into.

It will never be well with 70 year old monster and
the entire nation puts a curse on his presidential ambition, spits.

Na wa o

Imagine

Buhari is to blame over and over again!

You know where exactly they are, you know who exactly they are- but you can't round them up and kill them or at least make fake arrests and release as usual! I doubt it's because you care about the abductees, but most likely because they are your foot soldiers and they are fighting for you. I bet what they want that they can't say is for Bubu to fulfill his promise by speeding up his islamisation agenda

The should keep the madness in North if they enter East na sorry go be Dia name

Nigerians now trust bandits more than the our politicians, they are talk and do while the politicians are talk and no do.

They're innocent. Please don't kill innocent people.

To the BANDITS:
You are wearing military uniforms, that is to say you are a gangster criminals.
Please State your demands publicly and let the Public advise the Government to negotiate them

Very pathetic state

Federal Government the ball is in your court.

One would expect that after Monday attack on the Forward Operational Base in Polwire, Birnin Gwari, Kaduna State, the place would have been cordoned off with heavy presence of military personnel and movements restricted, but alas, nothing of such. Bandits still had the effrontery to revisit the place for a video shoot to showcase the release of a kidnap victim and also sending threat messages to the Federal Government.

If this doesn't buttress the complicity of the government in the heinous crimes perpetrated by terrorists against helpless citizens, I wondered what else will do

Bandits should rather kill the government that has failed to fulfill their promises than killing the innocents.

Whatever the Government is governing belongs to the Public. So, I advise our military camouflaged Bandits to publish their DEMANDS and allow the Public the privilege to advise the Government to provide the DEMANDS.

Besides, you BANDITS are bloody Cowards. Why kill innocent train passengers when you can go for NASS MEMBERS AND MINISTERS? THEY MAKE ALL DECISIONS.

SLAP LAI MOHAMMED, AMAECHI, ELRUFAI AND EMEFIELE TWICE, YOU WILL GET DOUBLE WHAT YOU WANT WHEN THEY START TALKING.

Don't pay bandits.
More money to bandit means more resources for them to buy more weapons and manpower to kidnap more people. That is a never ending cycle. . .

Nigeria should quit negotiating with terrorist...
Hopefully the next government will handle the security situation better. People had already lost faith in the current administration

I don't understand. Someone help me out. Is it that bandits after attacking the military base on Monday still went back to the scene of the attacks to shoot a video. Nigeria has made a big mistake electing Buhari

See level...

Government sponsored terrorists. So bandits now send threats to the FG. It's alright.

They even have mind to use Army base to shoot video.

They did that to send a message that they are in charge of that military base

I was thinking the BANK OF INDUSTRY who is a public servant will say.....oh pls take the hundred million and release our citizens while I stay back

Some actually want Jonathan to take back power, the same one that allowed Chibok and many terrorists activities to happen.

but you released the prominent one base on Ramadan spirit.

Why not extend the gesture to the rest.

You see this bandit of a thing ehhh
government never talk true regarding this issue.
