The Nigerian Railway Corporation reportedly hired three NAF helicopters to guard a train on its journey from Abuja to Kaduna. According to a Twitter user, the Nigerian Railway corporation hired the three NAF helicopters on a ‘private deal’ to guard the train which had two Nigerian Senators and other high ranking officers as its passengers.

When I saw abt 2 of d Helicopters not more 5minutes later, my thinking was dt d Nigerian security agency have reacted to d kidnappings on d Abuja highway & are combing d Forrest for d marauders. l momentarily felt happy dt at last, something gd was bn done abt d security situatn.

My happiness was busted when one of d Nigerian Railways Corporation staff checkn our tickets informed us that d Corporation hired d 3 Helicopters on a private deal to guard us to Kaduna. I was further convinced by his explanation when I did not see d inscription of the Police on any of d Helicopters. That ws how 3 Helicopters hovered over us this mornn until we reached Rigasa.

Here is a video of the NAF helicopters guarding the train below;

The fear of Kaduna bandits. The cost of running that rail line has become unsustainable. What a country. For how long ?

For how long will they keep hiring the helicopter?

Yeah...but lets give kudos to the railways corporations, a government organization giving the impression or actually showing that they value the life of their 'customers', for the first time!


Much is to be done, but with the right attitude and zeal in the right places, we will get there one day.

Edited: can we all be treated as human and deserving of the basics of life?

ok

So what if they never told to train?see how they protect themselves, some Nigerians are more Nigerian than the others .

What a nation? Buhari has taken insecurity to another level because of hunger

That choppers are the hawk eyes in the sky is a welcome development. Our fantasies can't be satisfied by man but God. To those haters of this maximum security details, I say may kidnappers never visit any of your loved ones.

It’s not necessary, if train crush person ehn you can see a part a big as a chicken. Make the herdsmen badicts them go stay in front train na. Heartless mofos

Fake news...

NRC will just hire NAF with a phone call? Abegi

Not even in Damascus, those that worked for the emergence of this londoner; will forever be far from wisdom.

Good one

Wild wild north.
Train jacking would soon be a lucrative business for the Armed bandits.

My broda I wonder o. They think people no dey reason with this kind news

Those helicopters were hired on a private deal to provide protection for the senators on board, not the common man.
They won't be available next time.

Useless Propaganda. Nigerian Airforce Helicopters always hover around Kaduna-Abuja high ways and the Rail ways daily.
