Buhari Reacts to Kaduna Train Attack by Bandits

President Muhammadu Buhari has broken his silence following yesterday's attack by bandits on an Abuja-Kaduna train.

Reacting on Tuesday, after meeting the service chiefs, President ordered the immediate conclusion of all processes for implementation of the Integrated Security Surveillance and Monitoring (ISSM) Solution for Abuja—Kaduna Rail Line.

Buhari also ordered a manhunt for the terrorists, “to ensure they are all made to face justice for the heinous acts”.

He said: “I am deeply pained by this attack, the second of its type. The attack on the train, a safe means of transport to many, is callous; our thoughts are with the families of the deceased, and prayers for the injured.”

“I commend the Law Enforcement agencies for their prompt response, and all the emergency personnel who were responsible for the evacuation and treatment of the injured persons.

“Nigeria will overcome the forces of evil. We will not relent until this is accomplished.”
