The Managing Director of the Bank of the Agriculture, Alwan Ali Hassan, is reportedly missing after terrorists attacked passengers on the Abuja-Kaduna train.
The bank boss was among the passengers on the train going to Kaduna.
“We cannot tell if he has been kidnapped or not but we are worried because we have been unable to reach him since yesterday.
“His phone lines have been switched off and no one has contacted the bank or any of his family members,” a source close to his family told The Nation on Tuesday.
Aside from Hassan, the Trade Union Congress Secretary-General, Mr Ozigi Musa-Lawal, and its Kwara State Chapter Chairman, Mr Akin Akinsola, were among those confirmed dead from the incident.
The TUC’s President, Mr Quadri Olaleye, confirmed the incident in a statement he issued on Tuesday in Lagos.
The statement read in part, ‘’They were on their way to Kaduna for an official assignment slated for Tuesday, March 29, 2022.
Very sad, I hope lessons are learnt particularly by security agencies. Quick actions to be taken to rescue the missing and treat the injured. Terrorist can't stop trains or ppl from moving about. This is what you get in a country where most ppl don't wanna work but make quick money. Where we have a country but not a nation. A nation we see in Ukraine:the care by all for the collective good. While in Nigeria u see no nation but a country where almost all don't care about the collective good but care only about their pockets... Very unfortunate
