Muhammad Daiyabu is one of the victims of the Abuja- Kaduna train attack of March 28, 2022. Daiyabu whose pregnant wife was earlier released by the terrorists, also regained freedom together with six others last Saturday. He narrates his experience in captivity Excerpts:
How does it feel to be free?
I am appealing to the government to meet their( terrorists)demands so that the remaining victims can be freed. The most worrisome part is the fate of the remaining people left in the bush, about 44 victims including four children and an 85-year-old woman are still in captivity.
How were you treated in the forest?
They treated us well and even slaughtered six cows for us. They fed us throughout our three months stay in captivity.
It was reported that you were beaten by snakes, scorpions and other reptiles in the forest?
Several reports circulating on social media about us being beaten by snakes are false. These false reports circulated in the media were causing more harm than good to the victims still in captivity. The terrorists killed about 10 snakes and two scorpions in the forest. So the information that we were beaten by snakes is false as no one was beaten by a snake.
