The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Faruk
Yahaya, has visited the scene of the Abuja-Kaduna train attack.
Bandits, already declared terrorists, used Improvised
Explosive Devices (IEDs) to stop the train Monday night.
They then shot sporadically, killing an unspecified number
of persons and injuring many.
Yahaya was accompanied by some principal staff officers of
the Army Headquarters and the General Officer Commanding 1 Division.
He assessed the security situation around the general area,
inspected the attacked train and the rail track to evaluate the degree of
damage.
The COAS ordered the troops and other security agencies to
intensify their search and rescue operations to ensure kidnapped victims are
rescued unconditionally.
Yahaya assured Nigerians that troops will be undeterred and
vehement in the fight against banditry and other forms of criminality.
He appealed to members of the surrounding communities and
elsewhere to avail troops with credible information to enhance their operations
across the country.
