NRC suspends rail activities along the Abuja-Kaduna route

The Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) has temporarily suspended its service along the Abuja-Kaduna route, due to unforeseen circumstances.

NRC, via its official Twitter page on Tuesday morning, made the announcement.

Recall that the Abuja-Kaduna train, with passengers onboard, was attacked by terrorists on Monday night.

The gunmen were said to have blown up the rail track, forcing the 1000-capacity train to derail around Rijana, a village on the rail corridor in Kaduna.

The statement read: “Dear passengers, due to unforeseen circumstances, Train operations along the Abuja-Kaduna route has been temporarily suspended.

“Further Communication would be given in due course.”
