Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and a presidential candidate, has expressed his condolences to the Kaduna state administration following the recent train assault by terrorists known locally as bandits.
Last Monday evening, bandit terrorists ambushed a Kaduna-bound train with explosives and gunshots, killing eight passengers, wounding many more, and kidnapping others, according to Anaedoonline.ng.
Senator Kashim Shettima, the former Governor of Borno State, joined the APC Leader to Kaduna to meet with Governor Nasir El-Rufai.

Mr Tinubu, who termed the train incident as a “national calamity,” donated N50 million to the victims.
According to him, the ongoing assaults in Kaduna should be a source of concern for everyone because they have taken hundreds of lives and property in recent years.
He went on to say that bandit killings are no longer acceptable and must be stopped.
