Bandits on Monday attacked a train heading to Kaduna from Abuja.

It was gathered that bandits detonated a bomb on the railtrack of Abuja-Kaduna train and successfully immobilized it at a point between Katari and Rijana.

It was also learnt that the attackers have surrounded the train, shooting sporadically.

Confirming the incident, Shehu Sani, a former Kaduna Central Senator, said villagers around the area claim the train is under attack.

“Villagers along Abuja-Kaduna road called to confirm hearing multiple gunshots and attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train by terrorists,” he wrote on Twitter.

More to come.
