The revenue generated by the Abuja-Kaduna rail line has significantly dropped by 99.8 per cent, the Managing Director of the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC), Fidet Okhiria, has disclosed.
Ripples Nigeria gathered that the decline followed an attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train by bandits who bombed the rail line between Katari and Rijana on March 28, 2022.
The attack led to the death of about eight passengers, while the attackers kidnapped some passengers. The victims were released after an undisclosed amount was reportedly paid for their freedom.
