Department of the State Services (DSS) in a leaked memo to the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) warned against an attack on trains plying the Abuja-Kaduna route.
Vanguard reported that in the memo titled: Security Alert: ‘Impending Threat By A Coalition Of Banditry Syndicate To Attack Abuja-Kaduna Train Service Along AKTS Corridor’, the DSS advised other security agents to deploy troops in the stated area to stop the attack.
In the letter signed by DSS Director FCT Command, R.N. Adepemu, the secret service cautioned train passengers to be careful and security alert.
Recall that on the 28th of March 2022, bandits attacked an Abuja–Kaduna train in Katari, Kaduna State, and kidnaped many passengers.
