The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), has debunked the report by some national dailies that Abuja-Kaduna train conveying passengers to Abuja was attacked by suspected gunmen.
The Managing Director, Mr. Fidet Okhiria said in a statement, made available to newsmen on Thursday, that the news was false adding that the policemen on the train reported that only stones were thrown on the coach which broke the window glass.
He further said Nigerians should not panic as the news of the suspected attack was not true and NRC is doing everything possible to ensure safety of passengers.
Earlier, some national dailies had reported that armed men suspected to be kidnappers, attacked an Abuja-bound train with guns and other weapons.
The report alleged that the train, which left the Rigasa train station in Kaduna, at around 10 a.m.on Thursday, was attacked a few kilometres to Katari, about 70 kilometres to Abuja.
