The Angels seem not to be on the side of the Abuja-Kaduna railway passengers, as there was an unconfirmed report that the rail line was under attack by bandits. It was later confirmed by the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC).
Six months ago, the federal government once ordered the suspension of rail service operations on the Abuja-Kaduna route following the alleged detonation of explosives on the train track by bandits and was asked to resume on Saturday, October 23, 2021, after the terrorists attack its operations.
According to the report, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were planted in one of the coaches, derailing and destroying some of the coaches. Other statements said the bomb was planted on the rail track. About 970 passengers were on board and the condition of the passengers wasn't disclosed.
The Managing Director of Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC), Mr. Fidet Okhiria, confirmed the raid on the Abuja-Kaduna train by suspected bandits on Monday night. Meanwhile, he mentioned that the information on the attack is still sketchy.
The safety device in Nigeria is crazy, from the abduction of college students to the assault to the indigenous network clashes, an average Nigerian is now dwelling in worry and bondage as traveling miles is now dreadful, and the Abuja-Kaduna dual carriageway is taken into consideration the maximum risky course withinside the country. The Abuja-Kaduna course paperwork is essential as it is part of the country’s large dual carriageway device, permitting the movement of people and commodities from the North to the South and vice versa.
Just three days ago, the Kaduna International airport was under siege, with bandits reportedly killing a staff member of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA).
We are extraordinarily concerned that non-stop assaults may want to have disastrous impacts on the country. The recent report found out that Kaduna State has restricted a wide variety of police officers, 11,246, to address the state's complicated inner protection challenges. The project of insufficient protection employees caused the formation of local protection agencies, together with the Amotekun protection outfit of the SouthWest region.
Based on reviews, the sports of the Amotekun have helped supplement the efforts of the traditional protection agencies. Although the Northern location additionally mounted the “Shege-Ka-Fasa protection outfit, it is said to be inactive because of low support. The reviews of relentless assaults propose both strengthening the prevailing organization or growing zonal businesses to cope with the demanding situations particular to every geopolitical zone.
