Gunmen have released 11 passengers who were abducted during a train attack in northern Nigeria at the end of March, a government minister said, though dozens of others are thought to remain in captivity.

Gbemisola Saraki, the minister of state for transportation, said in a statement late on Saturday that the government was working to ensure all the kidnapped passengers were released.

Armed gangs, known locally as bandits, blew up the track on the Abuja-Kaduna route in the north of the country and opened fire on the night train on March 28, killing eight people. Video released by the suspected bandits has since shown a number of people in captivity who identified themselves as passengers from the train.

Bandits have killed and abducted hundreds of people for ransom in northern Nigeria, leaving citizens terrified.
