Daily Trust reports that the encounter happened a few days ago when he stopped at a Shema Mosque near Bakin Ruwa J unction in Rigasa community, Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna.
The survivor further told the newspaper that he identified the kidnapper as Abubakar, adding that he was shocked to see see him inside the mosque.
In a social media post, Muhammad wrote: “Last night, after praying the Isha’i prayer at Shema Mosque near Bakin Ruwa junction in Kaduna, by the will of God, just as the imam ended the prayer, I ran into one of the men who kidnapped us aboard the AK-9 train that was attacked on March 28, 2022, during the Abuja–Kaduna journey.
“His name is Abubakar. He told me he has repented and left terrorism behind. He now works as a motorcycle (okada) rider.
“After a lengthy conversation with him, I learned that some of the kidnappers have been killed, while others have continued with their acts of terror.
“In the end, I told him I forgave them, and I gave him some charity because of the state I saw him in. Oh Lord of all the worlds, guide us all and guide them too,” he said.
Daily Trust correspondent met with Comrade Muhammad at his office within Kaduna Metropolis and he confirmed authenticity of the post.
