Shehu Sani Speaks On Attack On Kaduna-Abuja Train

Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani has reacted to the bandits’ attack on an Abuja-Kaduna train around Katari village in Kaduna State on Monday night.

Naija News earlier reported that bandit terrorists had planted explosives on the rail track which saw the Kaduna-bound train derail.

It was gathered that the train which took off around 6 pm from the Idu train station at the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja on Monday hit an explosive device about 30 minutes to Rigasa train station in Kaduna.

This news media learned that at least two persons were reportedly killed with many passengers injured during the attack on the train.

According to reports, a combined team of security operatives were deployed to the scene of the attack in order to protect the stranded passengers.

Reacting, Sani stated the terrorists killed and injured some passengers, adding that the gunmen abducted some of the stranded commuters.

The governorship aspirant said the attack was preventable if proactive measures were taken after the attack on the train in October 2021.

Sani claimed that the trains weren’t equipped with sensors to detect explosives and the promise of the use of helicopters to protect the trains was abandoned.

“They killed some, they injured some & they kidnapped some. The Train attack was preventable. Lessons weren’t learned from the last tragedy.

“The trains weren’t equipped with sensors to detect explosives & the promise of the use of helicopters to protect the trains was abandoned,” he wrote on his Twitter page on Tuesday morning.
