M. B. Muhammad, one of the passengers abducted during the 2022 Kaduna train attack, has recounted a startling encounter with one of his alleged kidnappers at a mosque in Kaduna State.
He revealed that the incident occurred recently when he visited Shema Mosque near Bakin Ruwa Junction in Rigasa, Igabi Local Government Area.
Recognising the individual as Abubakar, the Muhammed described being utterly stunned upon seeing him inside the mosque.
In a social media post, he wrote: “Last night, after praying the Isha’i prayer at Shema Mosque near Bakin Ruwa junction in Kaduna, by the will of God, just as the imam ended the prayer, I ran into one of the men who kidnapped us aboard the AK-9 train that was attacked on March 28, 2022, during the Abuja–Kaduna journey.
“His name is Abubakar. He told me he has repented and left terrorism behind. He now works as a motorcycle (okada) rider.
“After a lengthy conversation with him, I learned that some of the kidnappers have been killed, while others have continued with their acts of terror.
“In the end, I told him I forgave them, and I gave him some charity because of the state I saw him in. Oh Lord of all the worlds, guide us all and guide them too,” he said.
