Kaduna Train Attack Forces Rich Nigerians To Charter Aircraft

A viral report has it that many wealthy Nigerians have resorted to chartering aircraft at Old Kaduna Airport along Mando Road, Kawo for all their journeys, as a result of the recent Kaduna-Abuja train attack, which left eight passengers dead and at least 41 others injured.

Newsmen gathered that the cost of hiring the 15 minutes private jet on charter ranges from N3million to N6million depending on the size of the plane.

A source told journalist that the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Shamsuna Ahmed, was one of those influential Nigerians and government officials that chartered one of the jets to Abuja last Friday.

Another star who patronised the business was Tien Jack Rich, a presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who visited Kaduna State to  condole with the government and people of the state, following the terrorist attack on the  ill-fated Abuja-Kaduna train.

At the condolence visit, Rich who is the President and Founder of Belema Oil was reportedly received by the Deputy Governor of Kaduna State, Dr. Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe.

The Belema Oil boss, also made a presentation of N15m cash to families of the victims and offered support in the treatment of the injured ones.

The trending Kaduna train attack was an event, which occurred recently where suspected terrorists finally blasted train passengers after weeks long of bomb scare in the train station.

The Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai had pointed out that the train attack would have been avoided if the FG and the Nigerian Railway Corporation had heeded to his earlier cries.

According to the governor: “To us, this happened because we have consistently written letters to the Nigerian Railway Corporation. We wrote them twice to stop night trips because we had a security report that Boko Haram had entered and they were planning to blow up the train. We wrote them twice but they didn’t listen.”
