Train attack: Don’t resume service until our loved ones are rescued

after terrorists attacked the AK-9 train along the Abuja-Kaduna rail route, families of the over 100 persons still in captivity have urged the Nigerian Railway Corporation, NRC, not to resume services on the corridor until all those held captive were safely rescued.

Addressing a press conference, yesterday, in Abuja, the families lamented the horrible conditions the abducted passengers had been forced to live in, even as they took a swipe at the manner the Federal Ministry of Transportation and the NRC had so far handled the matter

Representatives of the families, Abfulfatai Jimoh and Ba’abba Muhammad, said it would be insensitive for NRC to resume operations on the route, with fate of scores of passengers kidnapped still unknown.

They stated: “Abuja-Kaduna train service should not resume until the quick and safe rescue of our family members held hostage and adequate security measures are put in place to guarantee the safety of prospective passengers. This position aligns with the prayers of the majority of Nigerians.
