One of the five freed Abuja-Kaduna train passengers, Sidi
Aminu Sharif, on Tuesday evening, said a bullet fired into his body while in
captivity, is yet to be removed.
The train attack victims are being
released in batches, with the latest five freed on Tuesday, August 2,2022.
While speaking with journalists at the office of Mamu,
Publisher, Desert Herald, one of the released victims, Sidi Aminu Sharif said
the bullet fired into his body by one of the terrorists has not been removed
The victim was reportedly shot while in captivity, raising
fears about what may have become of his health condition and the safety of
others.
He said the efforts made to remove the bullets were
unsuccessful, adding that now that he is freed, he would get proper medical
attention.
“I am one of the passengers of the train that was attacked
in Kaduna on its way from Abuja. I could remember how it happened when the
train was conveying us to Kaduna. As we were sitting on the train, I could
remember I was praying when we heard a loud sound… I was shot on my stomach in
captivity. A doctor tried to remove it, but he could not. He used my clothes to
manage the blood which flowed to my knees.
“He used gloves and searched my stomach to pull out the
bullet but couldn’t find it. He later used scissors but still couldn’t find any
bullet in my stomach. Up till now, we didn’t see the bullet. I don’t know if
it’s still in my stomach, I hope now that we are free, I can go to the hospital
for x-ray if the bullet can be found,” he said.
As of the time of filing this report, it is unclear if
ransom was paid before the victims were freed, as they kept mute over the
issue.
