Following the terrorists attack on the Kaduna-Abuja train, President Muhammadu Buhari has met with security chiefs at the state house to direct on the line of action.
He said he gave the following directives - immediate conclusion of all processes for implementation of the Integrated Security Surveillance and Monitoring (ISSM) solution for Abuja-Kaduna rail line; extension of the ISSM solution to cover the Lagos-Ibadan rail line.
Buhari ordered the rescue of all kidnapped passengers, and a manhunt for the terrorists to ensure they are all made to face justice.
He, further directed the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) management to speedily repair the damaged lines and resume normal service without delay.
Buhari said his earlier directive about that the military should deal ruthlessly with terrorists stands, stating that anyone found unlawfully wielding an AK 47 should not be spared! No one should be allowed to hold the country to ransom.
The president expressed pain by the attack, stating that the attack on the train is callous. He sympathised with the families of the deceased and prayed for the injured.
He commended the law enforcement agencies for their prompt response, and all the emergency personnel who were responsible for the evacuation and treatment of the injured persons.
"Nigeria will overcome the forces of evil. We will not relent until this is accomplished," Buhari said.
