Kaduna Train Attack: President Buhari meets freed passengers; CAN says release of 23 remaining victims gradual end to terrorism

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday met with the freed twenty-three passengers of the March 28, 2022, Abuja-Kaduna train attack at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) hospital in Kaduna.

The President made an unscheduled visit to the hospital to see the victims of the train attack after commissioning Cadets of 69 Regular Course of the NDA, in Afaka, Kaduna State.

Before boarding NAF 001 back to Abuja from the Kaduna International Airport, President Buhari detoured to the hospital where he thanked the Nigerian military for their brave services in securing the safe release of the hostages from the Boko Haram terrorists.

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has lauded the Federal Government for fulfilling the earlier promise to rescue the remaining 23 abducted Abuja-Kaduna train victims.

Reacting in a statement, the CAN President, Archbishop Daniel Okoh said the development not only indicated that the authorities meant serious business, but they were ready to muster the required political will to end the reign of terror in parts of the country.

Okoh said this signposts the efforts of the Federal Government at combating insecurity head-on in the country.
