source: Channels news
Tumblr media
Many passengers are feared injured while several others were said to have been kidnapped by the assailants.
Although the police authorities are yet to confirm the attack, It was gathered that the incident happened on Monday night.The incident happened around 7: 45 pm at Dutse village in Chikun Local Government Area, just a few kilometres from the Rigasa train station, which is the last transit point of the train.
Although both the police and the Kaduna state government are yet to confirm the number of casualties in the attack.
The bandits were said to have opened fire, shooting sporadically on the train, and later gained access to the train.
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.

Pinnick must go!!”, referring to the president of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick.
Tuesday’s match marked the first time since October 2011 that the Nigerian football team played in MKO Abiola stadium, which underwent about one-million-dollar renovation spearheaded by Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote.

FORMER EKITI STATE GOVERNOR, AYODELE FAYOSE, RESIGNED FROM THE PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY‘S ZONING COMMITTEE OVER HIS PRESIDENTIAL AMBITION.
Tumblr media
The former Ekiti state Governor, Ayodele Fayose, made this known in a letter dated April 5, 2022, and addressed to the Chairman of the PDP zoning committee and Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom.
“Having hinted during our last meeting at my intention to run for the office of the President in the coming primary election and by God’s grace; the general election. it will not be morally right to continue to participate in the zoning debate being an aspirant myself.
”Therefore, my state has nominated the bearer of this letter Dr Gbenga Faseluko to replace me,” Fayose wrote.
Fayose had indicated an interest in becoming Nigeria’s president in 2023 last Thursday while debunking reports that he had endorsed another presidential aspirant, Peter Obi.
Fayose, a two-term governor of Ekiti, had said, “Report credited to me that I endorsed Peter Obi for President and zoning of the Presidency to the South-East is false.
No doubt, I have great respect for Peter Obi as a leader and I respect his aspiration, but at no point did I endorse his presidential ambition or that the presidency be zoned to South-East.
Rather, my take is that the presidency be zoned to the Southern part of Nigeria.
“May I also state clearly that I will be seeking the ticket of the PDP to contest the next presidential election.”
