Daily Trust reports that the 6pm train which took off from Idu train station at the Federal Capital Territory Monday hit an explosives device about 30 minutes to Rigasa train station in Kaduna.

Details are still sketchy at the time of filling this report but Daily Trust gathered that security agents have been mobilised to the area to rescue the passengers.
