Nigeria government once again failed in her key responsibility of protecting its citizens as terrorist boom Abuja - Kaduna train with over 900 passengers. Confirming the incident declared many passengers missing after the sudden incident.
The attack has drawn many comments from various high profiled Nigerians from different parts of the country and the world at large.Commenting on the recent train attack, Kaduna state governor el'rufai stated;
“if the intention of these murderers is to disrupt the peaceful coexistence of Nigerians, they will not succeed and when eventually total peace returns to the country, they will surely either be lifeless or excluded.
“I can assure you that this is an ugly phase in our national experience. It will certainly pass.
“While expressing our sincere condolences to Nigerians particularly the government and good people of Kaduna State, we want to salute the bravery of our security forces in curtailing the magnitude of havoc this attack was intended to visit on innocent travellers. Our prayers are with you.
“We would continue to drum our support for the professional work you do and provide assistance in enhancing your operational strength and combat readiness.
“We recognise the enormous risk you take every day. The cowards behind this will certainly not take over our country. Their violent demeanour will not result in anything positive instead it will confine them to an uncomfortable life in the jungle until the long arm of the law catches up with them.
“On a final note, the NGF will want to call on the authorities to immediately install all necessary safeguards to forestall future acts of banditry on our rail tracks, roads, ports and borders.
“We need not remind those concerned that these constitute a major backbone to our national assets.
“We need to improve on security intelligence and ability to act on intelligence gathered. In general, we need to give comfort to all our citizens, residents and investors that the security of lives and property cannot be taken for granted. And that there is a government that is clearly in charge of what needs to be done
The efforts and actions of the Nigerian government has not matched the needed response required to end terrorism in Nigeria, should gun be legalised for individual protection as the capability of the Nigerian Army seems unmatched with the havocs of terrorist in Nigeria.
