BREAKING: Bandits Bomb Abuja-Kaduna Train [PHOTOS]

Armed bandits on Wednesday reportedly bombed a train travelling between Abuja and Kaduna, inflicting technical damages on the country’s major rail infrastructure.

Former Senator Shehu Sani said a train he rode between Kaduna and Abuja on Thursday morning nearly derailed because of an explosive that damaged a section of the tracks.

In a tweet on Thursday, Sani said it “took a miracle” for him and other passengers on the train to escape.

The former senator said bandits opened fire on the train on Wednesday night in another attack.

A backup train reportedly got to the passengers around 12:15 am and safely took all on board to Kaduna.

 

 

Bandits have repeatedly targeted the railway between the nation’s capital and the key northern city, which has become the preferred route for passengers seeking to avoid the perilous three-hour journey by road.
