One of the released Abuja-Kaduna train kidnapping victims is the wife of a senior Nigerian military official.
According to a military insider, Bosede Tuwase was one of the seven hostages freed on Saturday.
The woman is Olurotimi Anthony Tuwase, Air Vice Marshal (AVM), and his wife.
“A Pakistani and Bosede Olurotimi are among those released. She is AVM A. O. Tuwase’s spouse.
“We all knew since but the information was safeguarded,” the source said.
Tuwase is the Commandant, Armed Forces Command and Staff College (AFCSC) in Jaji near Kaduna.
He assumed the position in January 2022 when the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) announced new postings and redeployments.
The ‘AK9’ train operated by the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) was brutally waylaid by insurgents.
It was attacked the night of Monday March 28 at a location between Katari and Rijana.
NRC said 398 passengers purchased tickets while 362 boarded; some persons were killed and scores abducted.
The terrorists are still holding dozens of captives more than 110 days after the Kaduna ambuscade.
