UPDATE: Troops Secure Abuja-Kaduna Train trapped by Terrorists

March 28, 2022

By Admin

Respite came the way of passengers trapped in the Abuja-Kaduna train which was attacked by terrorists on Monday.

The train which left Abuja at 6: pm was expected to arrive Kaduna at 8pm but was attacked with explosives by terrorists only one hour into the journey.

Several passengers were injured in the attack while there are unconfirmed reports of kidnapping of some passengers.

However, Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan said the military have been mobilized to the scene and they have secured the train.

See full statement here:

Security agencies have reported to the Kaduna State Government that the military has secured the Kaduna bound train from Abuja trapped by terrorists.

The Kaduna State Government received multiple reports of an attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train service at around Kateri-Rijana general areas.

Relevant action agencies were urgently contacted, and robust deployments of personnel were swiftly made to the area to secure the passengers on board.

Efforts are ongoing to convey the passengers from the location and others that sustained injuries have been rushed to hospitals for urgent medical attention.

The Government of Kaduna State will be liaising with the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) to ascertain the list from the passengers’ manifest for efficient tracking.

This is to acquire an accurate inventory of all passengers and their actual status.

Governor Nasir El-Rufa’i who has been in constant touch with the security forces, commended them for their prompt response, and thanked them for successfully securing the train and passengers on board.

Security forces continue to comb the general area in additional rescue efforts.

Emerging developments will be communicated to the public.

Signed

Samuel Aruwan
Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Kaduna State.
