ABUJA, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Nigerians traveling for the Christmas celebrations stormed the IDU Train Station in Abuja to get to their destinations.
The travelers in their number were pictured at the railway station with their baggage, trying to get their tickets before boarding the train.
Images obtained by voiceofnaija.ng showed the travelers being attended to by railway corporation Officers.
This comes following the resumption of train services linking the capital city with a northern city, eight months after it was suspended following one of the most high-profile attacks in the country.
Gunmen with explosives on 28 March blew up the tracks and assaulted the train travelers between Abuja and Kaduna, and also kidnaped some of its passengers before opening fire which resulted in the killing of eight people.
