Nigerian citizens are still baffled with the fact that the Nigerian Railway Corporation says it is yet to lay out contact with 163 travelers and seven group individuals who boarded the AK9 Abuja-Kaduna train that was attacked by some so-called phychic militants on March 28, 2022.
Fidet Okhiria, the NRC's Managing Director, in the 6th update from the enterprise, as for the assault on the train, made sense of that 191 travelers had been affirmed safe and were in their different homes with their families.
He guaranteed that work was progressing to get the rail line back to activities.
As per him, "46 telephone numbers on the manifest are still either turned off or not reachable since Tuesday morning. 33 telephone numbers on the manifest are ringing yet at the same time no reaction from the opposite end."
He further made sense of 62 telephone numbers on the manifest when called answered non-existent, while 22 people are accounted for missing by their family members, with eight people affirmed dead.
The NRC's Managing Director expressed that on the team individuals in the train, there were an aggregate of 20 train group ready, focusing on that seven (are) NRC staff, five are alright and two are absent.
He added that of the 10 janitors, six are alright, three absent and one dead, adding that of the three locally available cooks, one is OK and two are absent.
Okhiria made sense of that SP 00020, one of the mentors was re-railed back to Rigasa station securely.
This, as per him brings the all out number of recuperated mentors and securely moved to the NRC stations to eight.
He said that the concentrated track fix works forged ahead with site to empower the recuperation of the excess mentors and trains.
For now, families of the deceased yet to be found are crying for help from the Nigerian and foreign governments because of the frequent killings within and outside Nigeria as they also mourn with the families of the massacred victims at Mali.
This is no longer about a nation but about the world at large as Ukraine still suffers more deaths, Peru in distress while Malians watch their family and friends die.
Let's take a moment and pray for the world hoping that Ukraine-Russia war will come to an end while the missing passengers in the AK9 Abuja-Kaduna train be found in good condition. Thanks
