 Well, it's been two weeks after the attack on the Abuja Kaduna Bound train by bandits at Ducey Forest in Chukum Local Government Area of Kaduna State. The parents and relatives of the victims are calling on the government at all levels to open channels of communication for the safe release of their family members. The families gave 72-hour ultimatum to the government to rescue the abducted victims on hurt or take necessary action to dialogue with bandits for their release. Habila Dura-Fai filed in this report as presented in our studio. It's been 15 days of agony, trauma and sleepless nights for the parents and families of the victims of the Kaduna Abuja train attack. 80 people were killed, 26 injured and scores of passengers have been missing. Others are still in the hands of their captors. Two weeks after the victims went missing, families are hoping for their freedom from captivity. One of the parents of the abducted victims, Dr. Abdul Fattai Jumo, said the recent viral video released by the bandits made very clear their willingness to dialogue with the government, which is not out of place since the government seemed incapacitated to protect its citizens. He said the abductors are here to contact families for ransom and agreed to issue a 72-hour ultimatum to the federal government. Even if it is one letter that is involved, the Nigerian government will believe should do all it is possible within their powers and this is something that is not beyond government to do. We are appealing to them to come out, open channels of communications with them and get our loved ones out as quickly as possible. So we are appealing to the government to do all that is necessary to get our people out. We have decided as a collective that we are giving government 72 hours, 72 hours to do all that is necessary to bring out our loved ones. He stated that the government owes the people their responsibility of assuring their safety at all times, stressing that authorities have continued to be non-challenged and insensitive to securing the release of the victims, edging them to open channels of communication with them. If the equalers will talk, we will talk. What we want is we want our loved ones to be out. If the equalers will talk with them, we will expect the government should take this on out because the government is in charge of security of our citizens and this is not beyond the capacity of what government can do. They can do it, they can enter into negotiations or discussions with them and get our people out. We are expecting that government should open channels of communications with them. Let them just listen to them first. Let them listen to them and hear what they want from them. Within our powers, whatever it takes to secure and bring back our family members. She has been abducted with the Boko Haram or by the Boko Haram group because she called or they let her call just once to say that she is okay but definitely she is with them and since then we have not heard anything. We expected that the government would come communicate or contact the families to let us know at least allow our fears that something is being done about this happening or this incident but nothing has been heard. So we don't know anything nobody contacted us, it's just silence, we don't know what is happening. Please, please we are pleading with the government. We are helpless here, we don't know where to go. The government knows everything. We are pleading with the government. President Mohammed Buhari, please come to our aid. Please we are begging. This is barely 15 days. Special prayers were offered by the families and friends of the victims to seek divine help for safe release of the abducted victims.
