The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, has deployed the services of security operatives as the Abuja-Kaduna train service resumes operations on Monday.
This disclosed by the Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, through a press statement on Sunday.
It would be recalled that the Nigerian Railway Corporation suspended train service along the route on March 28, 2022, after Boko Haram terrorists attacked a moving passenger train in Kaduna.
According to the IGP, the deployment encompasses major railway stations along the route and operational coaches in order to provide adequate security for passengers, their belongings, and the entire service in order to prevent any unanticipated incidents.
It was also noted that Baba assures the general public, especially intending passengers, of adequate protection of lives and property, as all hands are on deck to fortify the railway services along the route and other rail lines across the country.
