Seven more kidnapped passengers of the March 28 train attack in Kaduna state have regained their freedom.

The victims were released on Wednesday morning after spending 135 days in the custody of the terrorists.

It is however not clear if any ransom was paid to the terrorists for their release.

Although the police authorities are yet to confirm the development, a member of the negotiating team, Tukur Mamu told Channels Television that six of the released hostages are members of the same family, which include a couple and their four children.

The terrorists also released a 60-year-old woman, Hajia Aisha Hassan who was said to have been freed due to life-threatening health challenges that deteriorated recently.

The names of the six family members that were released are Abubakar Idris Garba who is the father of the four kids, his wife Maryama Abubakar Bobbo, and their eldest son, Ibrahim Abubakar Garba who is 10 years old.

Others include Fatima Abubakar Garba, 7 years, Imran Abubakar Garba, 5 years old, and youngest Zainab Abubakar Garba who is only one and half years.

So far, 42 victims have regained their freedom. The number of those still in captivity now stands at 35.
