What are cow doing on railway line

This type of stupidity can cause train derailing and huge loss of life

That they were told that TRAINS will not operate on that day.

That made them to sleep on the TRACK.
They said they were misinformed.
Don’t be surprised they will start attacking the village of the little boy who misinformed them.

We are finished.

And to think they had the grit to pass rail line. Am jst piting the farmers who are on the other side. Thank goodness. They can breath a sight. Cos the train jst save them

AmiciLord:
Who will those useless herdsmen kill for this? I know they must be planing to attack the community where it happened. Dem no get sense at all.

RIP

If things were being done rightly in Nigeria, the cows would have been in their ranch and alive now. This movement involves dangers and hazards on the animals.

But they will always think that to ranch cows is simply in the interest of crop farmers, their rivals. It remains the best option for all.

Bubu is mourning right now

Buhari just lost 52 loyal Voters. If you know you know.

buhari WL personally charge those responsible to court. killing first class citizens of northern Nigeria constitute murder and warrant death by butchering.

Kai see them like mama...

Okay we all agree who did this act abi na What!??


They are free to attack the train and uncouple it's chambers in anger. They should torture the train well o. Train sorry you are up for torture.

Herdsmen now planning how to seek retribution on the train's family.

This is is foolishness from the herders as you can see they are crossing bridge meant for train, why won't the cows be crushed

This news go pain Buhari die...

Stupid fellows!! Set up ranches they won't hear, expect more of these to come...

FG will pay them to the last Kobo they mentioned and even compensate them for the trauma they went through and their time. Federal government that that values a cow's life than the lives 10 soldiers, not then to talk of ordinary citizens!

I hereby declare 3 days of National Mourning. The naija flag should also be flown at half mast...

About 52 cows were crushed to death by an Abuja-bound train, Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, Ahmad Abdulrahman.

He said the command received a distress call of the accident at 11.45am, adding that he personally led principal staff of the command to the spots at Kasarami in Jere District of Kargarko Local Government Area of Kaduna.

“When we got to the spot, we found out that contrary to earlier reports of attack by insurgents, what actually happened was an accident,” the commissioner said.

According to him, some Fulani herders who passed the night at Kasarami asked if they could cross over with their cattle and were misinformed that there is no rail service on Sunday.

“It was when they were half way across the track, that a fast moving train from Rigasa station on its way to Abuja approached the spot where the cattle were crossing on a high speed and in the process, it crushed to death 52.”

He said 27 cattle that were still alive were ordered to be slaughtered and sold out to reduce the loss on the herder.

While noting that no human life was lost, he added, “The Fulani herders were on their way back to Katsina State. I had a meeting with their leaders and the farmers in the area to check future occurrence.”

Who misinformed them?
Who was the person that gave them information that they could cross over the rail track at a point where there is no terminal rail crossing sign for interpretation?
I see that the cows were crushed over a bridge. What on earth are cows doing crossing along a bridge?

A commissioner of police saying such things about cows should at least get his facts very right before blurting out to the press just so that he can cover for his brethren.

it is only in Nigeria sure happened

Get ranch, mba
Tell me why this is such widespread national news

Buhari go vex ohhh the cows were on their way to KAtsina state Daura

Hahahahha Fulani be like "sebi na train drive itself?? Where my ak47 at

Na so

lucianohase:
The commissioner of police dey lie oh cos Fulani people no dey ask to be permitted to cross their cattles from one place to another. They will just move it..........na wetin fit them !

That smart-aleck is trying to paint the herders the saints, trying to give them the soft landing in order to absolve them of blames for what happened to their cows. "After all, trains don't work on Sundays, they said; so why should the stupid train choose to run on the Sunday they choose to "trek" on the railway?"

Does the average fulani herder knows, or even cares to know the route to the transport ministry to ask the itinerary of the train, or do they even care about the owners of the land they prowl enough to approach them for information?

As far as I know, the only route these inglorious herders know is their "self-imagined" grazing route which can cut through any places as they seem fit: Villages, towns, roads, footpaths, rivers, farmlands, even your living room and bedroom if you mistakenly leave your doors unlocked. And what's more, you dare not stop 'em.
