The\nattack led to the death of several innocent citizens of Nigeria and the\nabduction of several passengers by the bandits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In\nrecent times, the Abuja-Kaduna road has been known as one of the most unsafe\nroads in the country owing to the fact that kidnappers have made the highway a\nplace to ambush people travelling along the expressway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nattack on the train confirmed the insecurity associated with traveling by road between\nAbuja and Kaduna and many other routes across Nigeria. Recall that the attack on\nthe train is coming just some days after the same bandit\/terrorist attacked the\nKaduna International Airport with an unconfirmed number of death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For\nus at Building Blocks for Peace Foundation (BBFORPEACE), we publicly condemn\nthis inhumane act on fellow Nigerians by these groups of non-state armed groups\nas no level of grievance can justify the murderous killing of people and\ndestruction of national infrastructures. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While\nwe express our condolences to the family of the deceased, we call on the\nFederal Government of Nigeria to urgently address the root causes of violent agitations\nand attacks across the country and also beef up security across the country to\nensure that people can live and move freely in the country without fear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\ncall on the Nigerian security forces to step up their search for the kidnapped\npassengers and also bring the bandits to justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building Blocks for Peace Foundation is a\nnon-governmental organization working on conflict prevention, prevention of\nviolent extremism, peacebuilding, and sustainable development in Nigeria.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BUILDING\nBLOCKS FOR PEACE FOUNDATION<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRESS STATEMENT On March 28, 2022, suspected bandits\/terrorists attacked a train carrying about 970 passengers headed to Kaduna from Abuja.
