The victims of Abuja-Kaduna train attack who regained freedom last week have narrated their experiences in the den of their abductors.
Three of the seven ex-abductees told journalists in Kaduna that their captors treated them well and even killed six cows to feed in the three months they spent in captivity, Daily Trust reported.

Muhammad Daiyabu, who spoke on behalf of other victims, debunked the news spreading on social media that victims were bitten by snakes. He said about 10 snakes and two scorpions were killed by the abductors while they were with them.
“Most of the snakes were killed by our captors, so the information that we were bitten by snakes is false as no one was bitten by a snake,” he said.
Daiyabu said one of the captives was hit by a bullet after an accidental discharge by one of their captors’ children who was playing with a gun.
“The bullet brushed one of us on the stomach, but thank God it did not go through. Our abductors were very worried when the incident happened, and they apologised for it,” he said.
