TRAIN ATTACK: Buhari summons service chiefs over worsening insecurity
President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday summoned the Service Chiefs to an urgent meeting in the State House, Abuja.
The President’s invitation followed the Monday night’s bandits’ attack on an Abuja-Kaduna passenger train with over 900 passengers on board.
Eyewitnesses told journalists the train derailed after the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) planted by the criminals beneath one of the coaches went off a few minutes into the trip.
