Terrorist Bomb Kaduna-Abuja Rail Track

A Kaduna-bound train derailed on Monday after explosives believed to be planted on the rail track went off around Katari area of the State.

The 6pm train, which took off from Idu Train Station at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) hit the explosive device about 30 minutes to Rigasa train station in Kaduna.

Details were sketchy at the time of filling this report but it was gathered that security agents have been mobilized to the area to rescue the passengers.

“There is no network in the area so we cannot get any information until the team we have dispatched returns,” said a top security source in Kaduna.

“What we know is that suspected IED’s were planted on the track and the train has derailed. We don’t know for sure if there is any injury or death,” he said.

The Managing Director/CEO of the Nigerian Railway Corporation, Mr. Fidet Okhiria also confirmed the attack but did not go into details.
