Nine months after nine people were killed and many abducted by terrorists who attacked a Kaduna bound train from Abuja, the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has resumed operations at the Kaduna-Abuja railways.
The services of the train were abruptly suspended after the 28 March, 2022, attack.
On Monday, at exactly 9:45 a.m. the first train, since the attack, left the Kaduna terminal for the country’s capital, Abuja.
There were only a handful of passengers on board.
“The IGP, therefore, assures the general public, especially intending passengers, of adequate protection of lives and property, as all hands are on deck to fortify the railway services along the route and other rail lines across the country.
At least 9 people died in the attack while 168 people were declared missing, most of whom were believed to have been kidnapped.
The train departed Abuja for Kaduna before it was attacked in a Kaduna community by terrorists.
While scores of passengers on the train were kidnapped, many others escaped with injuries which resulted in their deaths.
