168 PERSONS REMAIN MISSING IN NIGERIA'S KADUNA TRAIN ATTACK

  • 04/04/2022

According to the state rail corporation, 168 persons are still missing in Nigeria following a horrific attack on a crowded train last week. It is unclear how many of the 168 were kidnapped for ransom; some may have returned home without informing authorities. Last Monday, gunmen blew up a stretch of railroad connecting Abuja to the northern city of Kaduna. At least eight passengers were killed during the event. 

Some 970 passengers were on board the train when it was raided, however the Nigerian Railway Corporation has not said whether the 168 people believed to be missing are all customers or if some train staff are among them.
