Kaduna Train Attack: Unite Against Bandits, Terrorists – Muric Tells Nigerians

The Muslim Rights Concern has said the way to defeat terrorists, bandits and enemies of Nigeria is unity.

Reacting to the latest attack on Kaduna-Abuja train, the director and founder of the Islamic group, Professor Ishaq Akintola, in a statement issued on Wednesday, called for more enthusiasm from security agencies.

The statement reads, “Bandits attacked the Abuja-Kaduna train yesterday Monday, 28th March 2022. The attack led to the killing and abduction of some passengers. We strongly condemn this attack. It was mindless, vicious, brutal and barbaric. This is also major evidence of the extent to which unscrupulous elements can sabotage the good efforts of the government to provide comfort for the citizens.

“With hindsight, the latest attack may not have been too surprising, particularly with the ominous signs presented by previous activities of bandits in the zone. It is obvious that Kaduna Airport was attacked last week because the bandits had become desperate since they could not find enough victims on the roads.

“Our security agencies should be more proactive. Intelligence Transport Systems (ITS) should be used in all our transportation networks starting with the modern railway line and critical national routes of our roads. They should all be linked with control rooms of the security agencies.

“We call on Nigerians to look beyond this mindless attack. It’s the work of saboteurs, rebellious subjects and enemies of peace. Rather, we must unite against those who seek to destroy our fragile civilization and our nascent democracy.”
