NRC suspends Abuja-Kaduna route train operations indefinitely

The Nigerian Railway Corporation has announced the indefinite suspension of train operations along the Abuja-Kaduna route.

The NRC disclosed this in a post via its official Twitter handle @Official_NRC on Tuesday morning.

The NRC stated that the suspension was due to unforeseen circumstances.

“Dear passengers, due to unforeseen circumstances, train operations along the Abuja-Kaduna route has been temporarily suspended. Further communication would be given in due course.”

On Monday night, terrorists had bombed the Abuja-Kaduna rail tracks and attacked a train filled with passengers.

The attack came a few days after the terrorists attacked the Kaduna International Airport where an aircraft was prevented from taking off.

According to The Punch, a source who at the scene of the attack said that “they (terrorists) planted IED. When it went off, it derailed the train. There was pandemonium everywhere and some people may be kidnapped.”
