The bandits were said to have attacked the train in the vicinity of Dutse in Kaduna, a few kilometres to the Rigasa Train Station in Igabi Local Government Area, Kaduna State.
The bandits were said to have detonated an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) to bomb the railing, compelling the train to derail. They immediately opened fire as the train came to a halt. The bandits successfully invaded the train to accomplish their operations.
