The Managing Director of the Bank of Agriculture, Alwan Ali Hassan, has been confirmed as one of the abducted passengers on the Abuja-Kaduna train that was attacked by bandits on Monday night, March 28.

A friend of the victim who spoke to Sahara Reporters said

“The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Bank of Agriculture was one of those kidnapped. The terrorists used cars to move the kidnapped persons away; so, the shocking thing is; how did they even get cars there? This is because one of my friends’ colleagues fell from the car and broke his hand during the abduction. That was his saving grace.

It shows how quickly they were in moving the victims. In fact, my friend’s wife was on the train; they traced her phone to 250 kilometres away”
