Kaduna State Police Command has debunked the media reports that the Abuja-Kaduna train was attacked on Thursday along Katari by suspected kidnappers. “When I contacted the management of the Railway Station, I was told that such rumour was baseless,” he added. According to the report, “armed men suspected to be kidnappers Thursday morning attacked an Abuja-bound train with guns. According to the report, the train had left the Rigassa train station at around 10:00 a.m. and was attacked a few kilometres to Katari, about seventy kilometres to Abuja. A passenger on the train reportedly told the national daily that the train came under what he called “ballistic projectiles attack” but no passenger was hurt in the incidence.
