Recall that suspected bandits attacked the Abuja -Kaduna train where about three persons were feared dead as about 16 persons hospitalized
The whereabouts of some persons who were reportedly kidnapped during that attack are yet to be ascertained as at the time of this report.
The management of Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has as a result of the attack, suspended operations of trains within the axis
