However, Sani’s account is a different from reports on Wednesday’s incident.

The train was said to have broken down around 8:00 pm after its engine collapsed.

There are no reports of gunfire or of the attackers invading the train after it came to a halt.

A backup train reportedly got to the passengers around 12:15 am and safely took all on board to Kaduna.
