Families of passengers who were abducted in the Abuja-Kaduna train attack have issued a 72-hour ultimatum to the Federal Government to secure their release.

They gave the ultimatum after a meeting, stating that if the government fails to do so they will take a decision on how to rescue their relatives on their own.

According to the families, the government owes the people the responsibility of ensuring their safety at all times, but authorities have continued to be nonchalant and insensitive to securing the release of their loved ones.

Dr Abdulfatai Jimoh, who chairs the group of the relatives of the abducted persons, wants the government to dialogue with the bandits as they have demanded in a recent viral video.

Some of the Parents and loved ones overwhelmed by their emotions appeal to the Federal Government to ensure the speedy rescue of the victims from the hands of their abductors.
