The Edo State Government says efforts are still ongoing to rescue the remaining victims of Saturday’s attack at a train station in the Igueben Local Government Area of the state.
The Edo State Commissioner for Communications and Orientation, Chris Nehikhare disclosed this while giving an update of the attack on Wednesday.
According to him, 20 persons were kidnapped and not 31, adding that while seven persons have been rescued, 13 persons remain in the den of their abductors.
He explained that the job of securing lives and property is in the hands of the Federal Government, noting that there’s a limit to abilities of the local security network.
Nehikhare, however, said the Governor Godwin Obaseki administration will do all it can to protect live and assets in the state and as well as support security agencies in the safe returns of those kidnapped at the train station.
