passengers of the Abuja-Kaduna train attack.
The President made an impromptu visit to the Nigerian

Before boarding NAF 001 back to Abuja from the Kaduna

brave services in securing the safe release of the hostages from Boko Haram
terrorists.
Members of the Chief of Defence Staff Action Committee, led
by Maj.-Gen. Usman Abdulkadir (Rtd), who facilitated the release of the train
victims, were present at the hospital.
Recall that the remaining 23 Abuja-Kaduna train victims were
on Wednesday, released by their abductors.
