Cameras, trackers installed as Abuja-Kaduna train resumes operation Monday
Eight months after suspension, the Abuja-Kaduna rail service resumes operations Monday, November 28, 2022.
Punch reports that a source within the Idu rail station disclosed that cameras and trackers have been installed to ensure safety.
Recall that on 28th March 2022 terrorists attacked the Abuja-Kaduna train, kidnapping 168 passengers and killing eight others.
Train service was suspended afterward while government and security agencies make frantic efforts to secure the release of kidnapped victims.
The release of the victims had been in batches since then, with the last 23 released in October.
Speaking further, the source said some contractors were at the Idu rail station to install the tracker and cameras.
“They couldn’t install the cameras but they installed the trackers on LOKO 2809 and on DMU 003.
“The Managing Director, Nigeria Railway Corporation, Fidet Okhiria, is seriously monitoring it from Lagos.
“We are proposing to start running by next week,” the source said.
