Nasir El-Rufai, the Governor of Kaduna State, has revealed the identity of those responsible for Monday’s heinous attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train, in which many people were murdered, injured, and abducted.
The Governor said that Boko Haram fighters and bandit terrorists collaborated on the audacious raid that sent shivers down Nigerians’ spines.
He made the revelation to journalists on Friday, immediately after briefing President Muhammadu Buhari on the security situation in Kaduna State and recent assaults in the state.

Governor El-Rufai also stated that the terrorists had begun contacting some of the abducted people’s relatives, but ruled out the notion of his administration paying a ransom to get them back.
“They have contacted some of the families,” he continued, “but they have not made any particular requests.”
“They are not regular kidnappers; Boko Haram militants collaborated with bandits to carry out the attack, and we believe they will demand that the government pay the ransom.”
He was hopeful that security personnel would track down the robbers and securely rescue the victims from their hiding.

It will be recalled that former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani also recently identified the major bandits operating in the north as Bello Turji, Dogo Gide, Manjagara, and Balleri, wondering why they still roam freely, grant interviews on radio and the security agencies have not arrested them.
He accused the security agencies and agents of only carrying out ‘eye-service’ operations.
