Edo Train Attack: Gunmen Demand N620m Ransom For Kidnapped Passengers

Gunmen who abducted 31 train passengers at the Tom Ikimi train station in Igueben, Edo State, have reportedly demanded N620m ransom for their release.

Naija News gathered that the kidnappers contacted the families of the abductees to pay N20m for each victim on Monday, two days after the incident occurred.

Confirming the development, Executive Director of Esan Youth for Good Governance and Social Justice, Benson Odia, said the gunmen made their demands known which was absurd and ridiculous.

In a chat with The PUNCH, Odia urged the federal government and security agencies to intensify efforts in locating where the victims were kept and rescuing them.
