This incident occurred 50 days after terrorists abducted no fewer than 62 passengers from an inbound Kaduna-Abuja train after detonating an explosive on the railway track.

The kidnap also comes barely 24-hours after the Nigeria Railway Corporation announced resumption for May 23.

THE WHISTLER had contacted the Kaduna State Police Spokesperson, Muhammad Jalige, for details of the incident but all calls placed to his phone lines were not answered.
