President Buhari, Governor El-Rufai, and other officials have been threatened with kidnapping by the terrorists who kidnapped passengers on the Abuja-Kaduna train on March 28.
According to sources, the terrorists made the threat in a recent video they released depicting the flogging of the kidnapped passengers.
Recall that a few weeks ago, the convoy of an advance team of the president was attacked on its way to President Buhari’s hometown of Daura ahead of Sallah.
Two persons sustained injuries in the attack. The attack on the convoy happened on the day when the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) invaded Kuje Prison in Abuja and freed over 800 inmates, including all the terrorists in detention.
In the new video released, the terrorists threatened that unless the government complies with their demands, they would turn the area into an abattoir.
“This is our message to the government of Nigeria and just as you have seen these people here, by God’s grace, you will see your leaders; your senators and governors will come before us. These ones you are seeing here, we will keep some as our slaves and sell them off just as our Imam told you in the past.
Just like the Chibok girls that were sold off, we will equally sell these ones as slaves.
If you don’t adhere to our demands, we will kill the ones we need to kill and sell the remaining. By God’s grace, El-Rufai, Buhari, we will bring you here.”one of the terrorists who spoke in Hausa said.
