The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has confirmed the safety of 170 passengers aboard the recently-attacked Abuja-Kaduna train.
The development comes days after the train was attacked in the Kateri-Rijana area of the state.
Giving an update to NAN today, Fidet Okhiria, NRC managing director, said 21 passengers have been reported missing.
He said the NRC was collaborating with relevant authorities to guarantee the safety of the other passengers.
“The Corporation, in continuation of its concerted effort through repeated calls, has been able to confirm the safety of 170 passengers, while 21 passengers are reported missing by the relatives who made calls to us,” NAN quoted Okhiria as saying.
“The corporation is seriously collaborating with the security agencies who had already swung into action, in line with the directive of Mr President to do everything possible to rescue all those that are still missing.”
Okhiria said human and material resources have been moved to the accident site to ensure the prompt resumption of train services.
