Armed bandits have attacked another passenger train along the Abuja-Kaduna track.

The incident occurred near Gidan train station as the train was returning to Abuja from Kaduna.

Sources say the terrorists may have planted Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) on the tracks, causing the train to stop on its way to Abuja.
