Although the Kaduna state government and police authorities are are yet to acknowledge the incident, videos posted by witnesses show that some victims sustained gunshot wounds including children.

It also comes less than 48 hours after the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) announced that train services will resume on the 23 of May.
For now it is still unclear how many victims of the train attack are held hostage but in a recent video released by the terrorists, at least 62 persons led those who can afford it to take a short flight to Kaduna from Abuja or take the Abuja-Kaduna Passenger Train Service which had provided succour to people who travel to and from Kaduna to the nations’ capital.
The safety record of the Abuja-Kaduna Passenger Train Service came under repeated threat from Bandits/Terrorists before it was eventually breached in March this year.
The attack led to the death of 10 people while several Others were abducted.
Many of the over a hundred abductees in the attack are yet to regain freedom.
The Train service is however expected to resume on the 21st of May while many of the abductees are still in captivity, a development members of their families have kicked against.
