TUC Chairman, Secretary General among those killed Kaduna train attack
Members of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) were among those killed in Monday’s attack on a Kaduna bound train.
It was gathered that the Secretary-General of the union, Barr. Musa-Lawal Ozigi, and TUC Chairman in Kwara, Comrade Akinsola Akinwunmi were killed during the attack.
Reacting to the incident, some members of the union expressed sorrow over the development. “We lost our Sec. Gen. (Secretary-General) and the Kwara State Chairman,” a source in the TUC confided on telephone.
Terrorists had bombed a section of the Kaduna-Abuja rail track, forcing the train, which departed Abuja at 6pm on Monday to derail.
After that, they opened fire on passengers, abducting some and killing others.
In the latest update on the rescue operation, the Commissioner of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, said while eight corpses had been recovered, 26 people who were injured were receiving treatment.
He said according to the record obtained from the Nigerian Railway Corporation, 362 persons boarded the train. (Daily Trust)
