The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has suspended train operations along the Abuja-Kaduna route.
The Corporation stated this via its official Twitter handle on Tuesday.
“Dear passengers, due to unforeseen circumstances, Train operations along the Abuja-Kaduna route has been temporarily suspended. Further Communication would be given in due course,” the tweet read.
The statement follows an attack by gunmen on a train conveying passengers from Abuja to Kaduna on Monday night.
The bandits reportedly attacked the train around the Dutse axis in Kaduna, just a few kilometres from the Rigasa Train Station in Igabi Local Government Area of the state.
