A group, Arewa Youth Assembly (AYA), has threatened that there would be no election in the North in 2023 if Nigerians in the captivity of terrorists were not freed and the region liberated from attacks.

Speaker of the group, Mohammed Danlami, in a statement, yesterday, lamented the continuous incarceration of victims of the ill-fated Abuja-Kaduna bound train.

He said it was unfortunate that terrorists holding the innocent Nigerians captive had the guts to celebrate their nefarious activities in a video depicting how they were molesting their victims while the Federal Government kept giving flimsy directives and excuses without results.

The group said the growing audacity of non-state actors, which led to the invasion of Kuje Prison, Abuja and subsequent release of numerous arrested Boko Haram commanders showed that President Buhari and the Presidential Villa were not safe.
