Sen. Shehu Sani who represented Kaduna central at the Hallowed Chamber of the National Assembly narrated how he and several other passengers in a train they boarded from Abuja to Kaduna almost perished as a result of the incident.
According to Sani, the train he boarded ran into a portion damaged by explosives used by terrorists in attacking a Kaduna-Abuja train on Wednesday.
In a tweet, the former lawmaker alleged that terrorists had attacked a Kaduna-Abuja train on Wednesday with explosives.
He alleged that the terrorists also opened fire on the engine driver and tank of the train.
“Yesterday, terrorists attacked the Kaduna-Abuja railway with an explosive and opened fire on the train, targeting the engine driver and the tank,” he said.
Adding that “This morning, I was on board when our train ran over another explosive damaged rail track. It took a miracle for us to escape.”
