Kaduna train attack: I felt my soul leaving my body – Survivor

A survivor of the Kaduna train attack, Aisha Bindawa, has recounted her ordeal during the attack by terrorists on the Abuja-Kaduna rail on Monday night.

Bindawa, who recounted her ordeal via a tweet on her Twitter page @ayshabdw, noted that the person who sat beside her was shot.

“I never thought I would post again, after the man beside me was shot I had already started feeling my soul leaving my body too but Allah has better plan for us. May all the souls of the departed be in peace. May Allah reunite the abducted with their families,” she tweeted.

The PUNCH had reported how terrorists, on Monday night, bombed the Abuja-Kaduna rail tracks and attacked a train filled with passengers.

Subsequently, the Nigerian Railway Corporation, on Tuesday, announced the suspension of train operations along the Abuja-Kaduna route indefinitely following the attacks.

The train attack was coming after terrorists, numbering over 200, on Saturday, invaded the Kaduna International Airport located in the Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State, disrupting operations and killing one security personnel of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency.

The attack caused panic at the airport and reportedly grounded a Lagos-bound AZMAN aircraft scheduled to take off at 12:30pm.
