Whereabouts of MD Bank of Agriculture unknown after bandits attack on Kaduna bound train
The whereabouts of the Managing Director of the Bank of Agriculture (BOA), Kabir Muhammed Adamu, has been unknown since bandits attacked a train conveying passengers from Abuja to Kaduna on Monday Night. Mohammed Adamu was identified as one of the passengers on board the train travelling to Kaduna.
Bandits attacked the Abuja-Kaduna train between Katari and Rijana environs of Kaduna State.
A family source was cited to have cried out on Tuesday: “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.”
The bandits killed eight persons in the operation, injured 26, and kidnapped many others.
Security operatives were later deployed to the scene. This, however, did not deter the bandits, who struck again on Tuesday.
