Train attack: Abducted pregnant woman gives birth in terrorists’ den

Uba Group

An abducted woman, who was eight months pregnant when kidnapped in the Abuja-Kaduna bound train 30days ago, has reportedly delivered a baby in the terrorists’ camp.

The woman was among the two pregnant women who were held captive by the terrorists.

Reported had it that she gave birth to her baby at the weekend.

A source said that “The woman, who was reportedly eight months pregnant at the time of the attack, gave birth safely after the terrorists invited a medical personnel to attend to her.

“The state of health of the baby is, however, unknown. She gave birth with the aid of doctors brought in by the terrorists.”

Dr. Abdulfatai Jimoh, who spoke on behalf of the families of the victims, has said that the Federal Government had yet to reach out to them, hence, they were in the dark on the development.

Saying that 30 days after the victims were kidnapped by terrorists, he lamented that “We are in the dark and worried over the development, especially as the terrorists prefer to negotiate with the government.

“The situation is still the same. There is no communication from them. The last time they called, it was our relations that we spoke to. We have not spoken with them at all.

“From what they said, it is the government they want to talk to. That’s why they have not called us. But, assuming there is an option, we would have explored the option.

“They are not calling anybody and we can’t stress them; it’s only the government that can talk to them.

“Our relatives are in captivity for 30 days today. So, you can imagine the condition they are in. They said it’s the government they want to talk to.”

”We don’t have the power to force them to release our relatives. If negotiation is the only thing they want, we will discuss it with them.

“We understand the government is discussing with them and we want to believe that the government is talking to them. We just want the whole process to come to an end successfully and quickly.

”We plead with them to release our relatives because these are innocent people and they don’t know what the terrorists want from the government. That’s just what we can say.”
