I'M STILL BUHARI'S STRONG SUPPORTER - FREED TRAIN ABDUCTEE

One of the released abductees from the Abuja-Kaduna train attack, Hassan Usman, has maintained that he is still a strong supporter of the president, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

Before his release on July 25, Usman, a lawyer and his wife, Amina were among the passengers abducted during the attack on March 28, 2022.

Usman, who spent over 100 days in captivity was among the kidnap victims seen in a viral video where they were tortured by the terrorists.

Speaking with ICIR, Usman admitted that though he was still a supporter of Buhari, his administration has scored "below average" in terms of security.

He said, "I am still a strong supporter of Buhari but in terms of security, can score this government below average.

"Because one of their major responsibilities is to see that the lives and property of citizens are being guaranteed by the government.

"But as it is now, I can say that the government has failed woefully in that area. Despite the huge resources allocated for security in Nigeria, there is nothing to write home about."
