Game

Thank God. God bless Gov. Obaseki and the police and army who successfully saved these people. It's wonderful to see states learning buhari and APC's failure during the Kaduna train attack.

try to clean clear LAG st rail underbridge trades beggars yellow buses weve sent msgs to u several time but u refused to take action many places are very dirty many illagal traders causing insecurity

Where is the evidence

So fast what a miracle this time...

Dem go use ds news do campaign. All of a sudden, people abducted will b released, no arrest, for election purpose. After election, back to business

And we have never seen any of there face or even to interview them

How come without any single arrest? APC starting the 2023 this way and canvassing for vote is the biggest joke of the year, not even with candidates fingered in drug trafficking and sponsoring of terrorism

Thank God they’re safe, until the next

This is good news to hear that all the captives have finally regained their freedom. But how about the terrorists, were they not captured? Nigerian story beats me hands down always, how could the kidnapped persons be freed without even one of the captors caught or neutralised?

So, why was it difficult to release the Kaduna - Abuja victims

Miracle

Government don pay up lol

Nigerians asked for trains for decades now that they have it, they are asking for security while in the trains

Wonder why those kidnappers are not going after those Criminal Politicians and there Families
