“I sympathize with the victims of Monday’s Abuja-Kaduna train attack, their families, and other Nigerians who have been impacted, in some way, by recent events in our nation, pushed by the brutal acts of bandits and terrorists,” he said.

“I call on the security and intelligence services to scale up their efforts and ensure that perpetrators of these dastardly crimes are served with justice, and restore normalcy to our land.”
He urged Nigerians not to succumb to fear and be vigilant as they go about their daily activities.
