REVEALED: See list of victims injured, evacuated in Kaduna train attack [PHOTOS]

Sequel to the terror attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train on Monday night, the list of victims shot and injured by the attackers has been obtained by TopNaija reports.

The terror suspects had planted explosives devices along the rail track and laid in an ambush whilst the Abuja-Kaduna bound train approached the point – when the device exploded, causing the train to derail.

The rescued victims had since been moved to the 44 Army Reference Hospital in Kaduna for proper medical treatment following the successful evacuation by emergency services.

The list, as obtained by our correspondent, contains 16 victims as follows: Haruna Muhammed; Mohammed Modibo; Ibrahim Wakala; Yakubu Nuhu; Abdulahi Yahaya; Ismail Saidu; Abdumalik Rasheedat; Umar Mohammed.

According to sources, mobile policemen attached to the train engaged the bandits in a gun duel but were tactical in their shooting so as not to exhaust their ammunitions considering how prepared the bandits were.

However, many especially those in the first and second coaches were said to have been taken away by the bandits including a pregnant woman and her baby, while about six persons were reportedly killed.

But an eyewitness who was also a passenger on the train told Channels Television that some people died while an unspecified number of passengers were taken away by the bandits.

Giving an account of the incident, the source said that the bandits planted Improvised Explosive devices along the rail track, and when the passenger train from Abuja to Kaduna got to that point, the bomb exploded twice, thereby causing the train to derail.

“About an hour later, soldiers were mobilized It was at that point that soldiers were mobilized to the area about an hour later, and they were able to disperse the bandits, who also escaped with some of the hostages”.

After calm was restored by the soldiers, the passengers walked about 45 kilometres under security cover to the Abuja-Kaduna highway, and from there, they were conveyed in buses to the 44 Nigerian Army Reference hospital in the Kaduna state capital, where those who sustained injury were immediately treated
