The statement read: “As the victims of the ill-fated Abuja-Kaduna bound train marked 120 days in captivity, it was celebrated by the terrorist through a released video depicting how they (victims) are being molested.”

The group insisted that the non-performance of state actors led to the invasion of Kuje Maximum Prison, Abuja which has led to the release of numerous criminals.

The group said it has observed that the insult to the country’s supremacy wouldn’t have been possible if the National Security Adviser, who is supposed to guide Mr President had not run out of ideas.
