Mr Fidet Okhiria, the Managing Director of the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC), confirmed an attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train on Monday night.

“Information surrounding the incident was still fuzzy,” Okhiria told NAN, “and no precise information could be offered at the moment.”

The bandits reportedly blasted the rail track and shot intermittently, according to Anaedoonline.ng.

The train left Abuja at 6 p.m. and was due to arrive in Kaduna around 8 p.m.

“We have confirmed the attack,” NRC stated in a statement, “but we cannot provide you much details right now.”

“According to sources, the majority of the passengers have gone into hiding, and the officials on board have yet to provide us with an update on the situation.”

”There are reports of gunshots and the train derailed due to the attack,” Okhiria said.

NAN gathered that the incident happened between Katari and Rijana train stations, en route Kaduna from Abuja
