Suspected bandit terrorists on Monday night detonated bombs on the railtrack of Abuja-Kaduna train and immobilised it.
Sources said the attack occurred between Katari and Rijana in Kaduna State.
One of the passengers who confirmed the incident in a telephone call said the attackers surrounded the train, shooting sporadically.
“All the passengers are currently lying on the floor of the train. The bandits are shooting sporadically. We are in serious danger,” said one of the panic-stricken passengers.
There were at least 970 passengers onboard the train, according to official sources familiar with the train service.
Another passenger who spoke to Channels Television after incident reported that unspecified number of passengers were injured and some kidnapped by the terrorists.
