One of the kidnapped passengers from the March 28 train attack in Kaduna state, has been reportedly shot by one of the terrorists guarding them.
There is no official statement on the development but a member of the negotiation committee with the terrorists, and spokesman of Kaduna-based Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, Tukur Mamu, gave the name of the victim as Mohammed Al”Amin.
Mamu said that the incident was a case of accidental discharge which happened on Monday during a friendly exchange of fire among the terrorists who are guarding the hostages inside the forest.
He said that the victim though still alive, is, however, in a critical condition and requires urgent medical attention.
