Malam Muhammadu, one of the survivors of Monday terror attack, has in an interview with newsmen gave account of what happened during the train attack that claimed lives and injured many.

Muhammadu said that the terrorists came with buses and evacuated a number of passengers during the Monday night train attack. 

He said in an interview monitored on radio Tuesday night, that: “I was in coach SP 17 when the train was hit and derailed. The terrorists, many of them, rushed into our coach and killed a passenger. I hid under the seat and saw them taking away many passengers.”

“An argument ensued amongst the terrorists after killing the passenger and they couldn’t pay attention to us. We were about 10 that remained in coach when they left.”

“The terrorists proceeded to the VIP coach and abducted many passengers. One of the VIP who managed to escape and returned to us, told us that they filled a vehicle with abductees. They came with Sharon vehicles, they shot some abductees in the vehicles but 9 passenger were later confirmed dead others were severely injured, they were shot in their legs.”

“We saw the train driver. He came to us and attempted to run but they shot and killed him. I saw the terrorists with my own eyes. They were chatting Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar!! Come down, come down!!”.

“I was hiding under the seat praying…it remained about two steps for the terrorists to get to me but after killing a passenger, they began to argue.”

“They abducted many passengers. Later about 300 soldiers came. The soldiers took us to a nearby hill where we sat down. They said vehicles will come to convey us to Kaduna. The soldiers also attended to those who were injured. “

“The soldiers said we should stop making noise and put out light because we could still be in danger. We were at a place after Rijana about 20 minutes ride to Rigasa Kaduna.”

“Some passengers were injured severely. Some old people had trauma, one old person had asthmatic attack, another died of heart attack. The dead bodies were left in the train. It will be difficult to convey the corpses to the hill top where we took refuge.”

“We were traumatised for about 2 hours. The soldiers exchanged fire with the terrorists. They chased them and rescued some passengers, but we were really traumatised. Almighty Allah saved us. The soldiers killed some of the terrorists. Some terrorists lost their lives,” he said

I am accusing you of being in support of whatever is happening to your people in the north because you’re seeing the truth and turning it upside down on it’s head for your own personal vendetta.

Imagine a whole governor saying that bandits are businessmen this year and then after 4 years and countless lost lives and kidnappings of his people (business according to him) he doubles back to start condemning them to death . . . Who is deceiving who?

If you are an APC card carrying member or have any affiliations with the kaduna state government or bandits may God cut your life short as those bandits did to the innocent passengers on that train.

Odin13:
Apc is evil.

This is what Yoruba people led Nigerians into... the jihadist are here .. and they won’t stop.. how will dey?

Even if Buhari is to implement strong measures.. some of his people will react violently.. because to them is right .. jihad is welcome in Islam.

What’s the difference between this bandits and Ekpa with his ESN boys

They igbos are welcoming and entertaining them now . Soon their eyes go clear when they become emboldened with actions
Instead to encourage their governors to flush those bandits .. they’re encouraged the bandits against SOLUDO..

When e go start for igboland Na whenuna eye go clear
And igbos oppression of fellow igbos Is more brutal than ...

Soludo should be encouraged .. esn should live town and relocate to eastern Forrest and bushes .. not terrozimg igbos in town

Na so e Dey start

Racoon:
Adherents of the headslammer religion @ work again. Imagine about 300 hundred soldiers yet terrorists whisked away so much people in buses without any trace? Meanwhile, where are the terrorists killed from this daring attack by the Nigerian military? RIP to the departed.

Nbotee:
Hmmm.. Bandits drove in Sharon buses and left without a trace? Soldiers exchanged fire with them and yet didn't give them a chase?

VladimirPutiin:
The survivors were all saying same thing. They are young fulani boys of 18 - 20 years. And they were all chanting Allah Akbar.

When Buhari was building a train line into Niger and Chad. What else do you expect

Being a Nigerian at this time is tough.

OneTwoOne:
Where is the statement also made by El Rufai that Bandits should be killed and not negotiated with?


Stop this bigotry

OneTwoOne:
What sycophancy or you're letting emotions cloud your sense of judgement.

The fact that he made that statement doesn't means he didn't also condemn them to death many times..

I'm not just gullible like you and Racoon, I say things the way they are.
So don't you ever in your life accuse me of having anything to do with APC again

IGBOSON1:


Considering how lax or nonexistent border checks are in the north (they don’t really recognise national boundaries up there as they all see themselves as one), it would be pure madness to construct a rail line from Nigeria to Niger!

Parachoko:
300 soldiers?

The only states that insecurity was this terrible before Buhari became the president were in the North East.

Like play like play, under the retired General, Terrorists are not just operating in the North East alone, they also operate in the North West.

In a sane country, if Buhari fails to resign, he will be impeach.

I doubt Buhari can last long as a president in South Africa and Egpyt or even Kenya sef.

Conner44:


What bigotry? Someone who once said that bandits are just usual business men and do no harm today and then later changing mouth after the bandits made him withdraw his son from school so they won't kidnap him for their business too?

It's like you are a sycophant for apc and their unfortunate style of ruling Nigeria

VladimirPutiin:


Buhari is from Niger. His father migrated from Niger to present katsina. How e got an ethnic jingoist as President still baffles me.
