Dozens of passengers kidnapped during a train attack in northern Nigeria in late March are being used as human shields by their captors, Nigeria's president says
Buhari said this had further complicated rescue efforts. "They are using civilians as human shields, thereby making it difficult to confront them directly ... Bandits and terrorists, unlike professional soldiers, don't respect the rules of engagement; they don't care about killing their hostages if they come under attack," the Nigerian leader said in a statement to mark Monday's Eid al-Fitr celebration.
A video of some kidnapped victims surrounded by masked armed men also surfaced, but CNN could not independently verify the footage.President Buhari said he had"directed security agencies to ensure quick and safe recovery of all victims of kidnapping" while urging Nigeria's railway management"to set up a situation room for the coordination of the rescue mission and minute-by-minute engagement with the families of the captives.
