This online media platform gathered that the Kaduna-bound train derailed after the explosive device planted by the terrorists went off underneath one of the coaches.

One of the passengers, who confirmed the incident in a telephone call, said the attackers have surrounded the train, shooting sporadically.

“All the passengers are currently lying on the floor of the train. The bandits are shooting sporadically. We are in serious danger,” said one of the panic-stricken passengers.

There was no police confirmation as of the time of filing this report.

However, the Managing Director of the Nigerian Railway Cooperation, Fidet Okhiria,  confirmed the incident.

There was no police confirmation as of the time of filing this report.

Okhiria however told the News Agency of Nigeria that “information concerning the attack was still sketchy, and no concrete information could be given at the moment.”

“We have confirmed the attack, but we cannot give you much information right now.

“From the reports we have gotten, most of the passengers have gone into hiding and the officials on board are yet to give us a report of the situation.
