Security Personnel Stationed Along Abuja-Kaduna Railway Line

The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Baba, at the weekend ordered the immediate deployment of armed personnel drawn from the Police Mobile Force, K-9, Force Intelligence Bureau, Explosive Ordinance Unit, and Railway Police Command for the commencement of railway services along the Abuja-Kaduna rail lines from today.

A statement by the Force Headquarters said the Nigeria Police made adequate security arrangements in collaboration with the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) and other security agencies in preparation for the commencement of operations.

It said the deployment covered major railway stations along the route and operational coaches to provide adequate security for passengers, their property, and the entire service in order to prevent any unforeseen incidents.

“The IGP, therefore, assured the general public, especially intending passengers, of adequate protection of lives and property as all hands are on deck to fortify the railway services along the route and other rail lines across the country,” it said.
