A three-time Kaduna Central Senatorial aspirant under the banner of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Distinguished Senator Hajiya Talatu Shehu has condemned the dastardly attack on innocent people along the Kaduna-Abuja rail line.

According to a statement signed by the Director of Communications and Media Relations, Haj. Talatu Shehu Campaign Organisation, Maisaje Umar Yahaya, she expressed this while speaking to newsmen at the 2022 Women Aspirants Summit, Abuja on Thursday.

It explained that the Senatorial hopeful also sympathized with the victims of the attack, especially those families who lost their loved ones.

She attributed the attack to the alarming levels of moral decay and decadence in family units across the entire nation, which is culminating into societal malaise.

"The long and continuous deviation from traditional family values, principles and morality is the root cause of such negative anti-social behaviour and desperation. How can anyone derive any pleasure from maiming and killing other people?" She queried.

As a pre-emptive measure she called in the Government, especially the Honourable Minister for Transportation, Rt. Honourable Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, to push for establishment of a Railway Safely Surveillance Service, that will be responsible for monitoring and protecting the railways in the country, using manpower and technology.

"Also calling on Governor of Kaduna state of Nigeria, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai to do something urgent to forestall peace in the state," she added.
