The pan-northern socio-political organisation, the Arewa Consultative Forum, condemned the terror attack, lamenting that the North was now under siege.
The ACF said it received with shock news of the tragic incident, which claimed no fewer than eight lives with several other passengers unaccounted for.
The Secretary-General, ACF, Murtala Aliyu, said the organisation was tired of crying out on the issue of security and other challenges in the northern part of the country.
It added, “The ACF has described as unacceptable the frequency of such attacks on our towns and villages, highways and now train tracks and airports. Currently, banditry and terrorism have excised the North and the major economic activities of the North-East and the North-West, with a new ploy to block the main gateway (Kaduna State) to the northern part of the country.
“It regrets that all efforts claimed by security agencies and governments at various levels have been unable to put an end to such banditry and terrorism.”
