Terrorists, on Saturday, reportedly released five male and six female passengers abducted on March 28 from the Kaduna-Abuja train.
Gunmen suspected to be terrorists abducted the passengers after killing nine persons, and injuring others.
Eleven victims were released on Saturday, after reaching an agreement with the Federal government.
The terrorists had threatened to start killing the victims if the Federal government failed to negotiate with them.
The Publisher of Desert Herald, Tukur Mamu, who served as a mediator, confirmed the development.
He said his sources confided in him that the terrorists released the male captives on health grounds, adding that the women were among the vulnerable in captivity.
“It was expected initially that all the abducted women will be released in the first batch while negotiations for the release of the remaining victims will continue but the abductors had cut down the number of women they initially agreed to release because the Nigerian Government had demanded that they include those with life-threatening injuries among the released,” he said.
As of Saturday night, the identities of the released victims had not been confirmed.
