The attack was coming two days after the terrorists attacked Kaduna International Airport, killing a NAMA official.
The train was said to be conveying well over 900 people when the attack took place.
Ironically, the attack was taking place just at the same time the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, was addressing a press conference in Abuja claiming that Nigeria was becoming safer every day.
