The Publisher of Desert Herald, who
is also the negotiator of victims held hostage, Tukur Mamu, made the

federal government and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN)) to take
urgent action to ensure the release of the youngest victim of the train attack
as was done in the case of Leah Sharibu.

According to Tukur Mamu, “This is to alert the federal government and
especially the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) that I can confirm
through credible information at my disposal that if urgent action is not taken
to immediately secure the release of the youngest victim of the train attack,
a 21-year-old Azurfa Lois John, the abductors as they have done in the case of
Leah Sharibu are planning to marry her any moment from now.”
He
added, “One of the top commanders is said to be in love with her.”
He warned that the information be treated with the urgency it
deserves saying the development will not only unsettle the victim but her
immediate family, loved ones and the entire country.

“It is necessary to do so to avoid the repeat of Leah Sharibu’s case,”
he warned.
The negotiator advised CAN, in particular, not to
politicize the issue or reduce it to mere press releases as has seen in the
past but to work closely with relevant authorities to engage the abductors on
her case as soon as possible before it is late.
“I pray that in
view of the uncertainties which is becoming alarming, the federal government
will also act very fast to ensure the release of all the remaining victims,”
he advised.
