Kaduna Train Attack: “Terrorists Preached To Us In Captivity, Encouraged Us To Pray” – Freed Victim
Hassan Aliyu, one of the victims of the Abuja-Kaduna train attack has narrated how their abductors preached to them and encouraged them to pray while in captivity.
Edujandon.com recalls that terrorists detonated a bomb on the rail track of Abuja-Kaduna train and kidnapped some of the 970 passengers on board on March 28.
The terror attack saw several persons killed, injured and abducted.
During an interview with Daily Trust, Aliyu said he had no problems with praying, as their abductors always asked them to pray for their release.
He said, “There was no problem about prayers; we were never harassed in any way. It was just the feeling that you were not free because wherever you wanted to go you must take permission. Whatever you want to do you must ask for permission. The only time you don’t ask for permission is when you want to interact among yourselves.”
Aliyu further narrated how their abductors preached to them, using the Qur’an.
“I recall a particular issue where somebody said there was a verse in the Qur’an that, ‘You should call people to religion with wisdom.’ And asked why they were doing what they were doing.
