Shehu Sani, former senator representing Kaduna central, says
the Abuja-Kaduna train he boarded was attacked with explosives.
In a tweet on Thursday, Sani said it “took a miracle” for
him and other passengers on the train to escape.
The former senator said bandits opened fire on the train on
Wednesday night in another attack.
“Yesterday, terrorists attacked the Kaduna Abuja railway
with an explosive & opened fire on the train, targeting the Engine Driver
& the Tank,” he tweeted.
“This morning, I was on board when our train ran over another explosive [and it] damaged [the] rail. It took a miracle for us to escape.”

However, Sani’s account is a different from reports on
Wednesday’s incident.
The train was said to have broken down around 8:00 pm after
its engine collapsed.
There are no reports of gunfire or of the attackers invading
the train after it came to a halt.
A backup train reportedly got to the passengers around 12:15 am and safely took all on board to Kaduna.
