The Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation (SABMF), has condemned the recent bandit attack on the Kaduna-Abuja rail
A statement on Wednesday by the Director-General of the foundation, Abubakar Gambo Umar, said the high level of criminality displayed by bandits, showed that nowhere is safe in Nigeria.
He lamented the audacity with which the terrorists attacked the national shuttle despite the available security apparatus, calling on the federal government and other relevant agencies to take their responsibilities seriously.
“The Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation unreservedly condemns the terror attack of Monday, March 28, 2022, on the Abuja-Kaduna bound passenger train.”
”It is a matter of serious concern that these security infractions are happening at a time that the Government is assuring the general public that it was on top of the situation.
“We call on the Federal Government and relevant agencies concerned to be more vigilant about their responsibility and ensure that this ugly incident is prevented from happening again. We urge the authorities to ensure that the wounded are given proper medical attention while families of those who lost their lives are adequately compensated” he further said
He commiserated with the families of the victims who lost their lives as a result of the attack and sympathized with those suffering from any form of physical or emotional trauma.
