Bola Ahmed Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to put an urgent halt to the slaughter of innocent Nigerians by terrorists.
Tinubu stated that terrorist assaults such as the bombing of the Abuja-Kaduna train between Katari and Rigina axis, in which terrorists also opened fire on passengers, were no longer acceptable.
The former Lagos State Governor made the remarks after meeting with Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-rufia on Tuesday to discuss the current spate of bandit assaults.
Tinubu, who met with El-Rufai, gave N50 million to victims of the train assault and also paid a visit to the hospital where the injured were being treated.
“The recent attacks and killings by terrorist groups in whatever form is no longer acceptable and must stop,” Tinubu tweeted.
“I urge the Federal and State governments to work even more closely together to wipe out this menace,” he added.
Recall that gunmen suspected to be terrorists bombed the Abuja-Kaduna train between Katari and Rigina axis last Monday night.
WITHIN NIGERIA gathered that many passengers were kidnapped, including Zamfara State former deputy Governor, Mallam Ibrahim Wakkala Liman, during the deadly attack.
Others were shot dead and an unascertained number of passengers also sustained various degrees of injuries.
