Edo train attack: Entire railway system vulnerable —Expert

Adamu further said preventive measures like CCTVs should be installed in all railway stations and states across the country, adding that the attacked station didn’t have any CCTV that would have helped to the case of an attack.

He also added that early warning system through traditional rulers, communities, market councils and others should be effectively utilised to forestall or even prevent further attacks, as information or intelligence could be shared early to prevent attacks of any kind. The Edo train attack is coming 10 months after bandits attacked the Abuja-Kaduna train service, killing 14 passengers and abducting 65 others. They were released after spending months in captivity and paying ransoms.

The Edo Police Public Relations Officer, Chidi Nwabuzor, confirmed the incident in a statement, claiming that the abductors, armed with AK 47, invaded the train station and shot sporadically into the air before abducting scores of intending travellers into the bush.

Two abducted victims have been rescued while a suspect in connection with the attack had been taken into custody, with 31 other passengers still missing.All rights reserved.
