The Federal Government of Nigeria has ordered that the resumption of train service along the attacked Abuja-Kaduna rail network, should resume on Monday 23rd of May, 2022.
Train services had been suspended along the route after bandits attacked a train, killed several persons, and abducted scores of passengers in March, 2022.
Although some of the victims have regained freedom, many are still in captivity hoping to be able to gather the ransom charges as rescue operations by the Nigerian security agencies have not been yielding positive results.
The Government wishes to assure the relatives of the abducted citizens still in captivity that the safe rescue of these passengers is a top priority and not to misconstrue the resumption of train services, as abandonment or nonchalant attitude of the government towards their plight”
