The Boko Haram Terrorists who planted explosive on the Kaduna-Abuja bound train immediately opened fire after the explosions had damaged the rail tracks.
The terrorists specifically targeted the driver to stop him from maneuvering the train and aimed the engine to set it on fire so the train could stop and put the passengers in harms way.
Former Kaduna State Senator and human rights activist, Shehu Sani who first broke the news of the train attack, the “brave” driver still “struggled to move (the train) towards Kaduna Rijana station.”
He noted that on Thursday morning, he was on board the another train “when our train ran over another explosive” and damaged the railings.
Sani stated that “the train nearly skid off its path, then we miraculously escaped.”
