I’m Deeply Pained By Second Terrorist Attack On Train – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed sadness over the Monday attack on a Kaduna-bound train by terrorists, leading to many deaths and injuries.

The president on Tuesday said he was deeply pained by the attack, the second of its kind in recent times.

Buhari condemned the bombing of the passenger train, describing it as a “matter of grave concern.”

“Like most Nigerians, I am deeply pained by its occurrence, the second of its type, which has resulted in the death of a yet-to-be determined number of passengers and others who suffered injuries.

“The attack on the train, a safe means of transport to many, is callous; and our thoughts are with the families of the deceased and prayers for the injured,” the president said in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant, Malam Garba Shehu.

Buhari directed the immediate conclusion of all processes for the implementation of the integrated security surveillance and monitoring solution for the Abuja-Kaduna and Lagos-Ibadan railway lines.

He also directed the Nigerian Railway Corporation management to speedily repair the damaged lines and resume normal service without delay.
