NRC Suspends Abuja – Kaduna Train Operations over Terrorist Attack

• Terrorists bombed and successfully immobilised the 970 passenger-filled train.

Following the terrorists attack on Abuja -Kaduna train, on Monday night where they bombed and successfully immobilised the 970 passenger-filled train, the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has suspended train operations along that route.

The NRC in a message posted on its booking website and social media handles in the early hours of Tuesday, said it was suspending the service for the safety of travellers.

The corporation added that it was working to restore the service and would inform the public when the train will start running again.

It was gathered that the terrorists planted explosives on the rail tracks and bombed the train just before Rijana, a community along the rail line in Kaduna notorious for kidnapping and other security breaches.
