Train Attack: N50 Premium Does Not Insure Passengers Against Terror Attacks – FG

The Abuja-Kaduna train that was bombed by terrorists on March 28, 2022, in Kaduna State as well as passengers who boarded the train, were all insured but not against terror attacks, senior officials of the Federal Government have stated.

It was learnt that N50 was paid as a premium to two indigenous insurance companies on every train ticket purchased by passengers who boarded the Abuja-Kaduna train.

This came as family members of the abducted passengers stated that the kidnappers had refused to speak with the relatives of those abducted with respect to negotiating the release of the kidnapped travellers.

The family members lamented that this had stalled efforts being made by them to secure the release of the kidnapped victims.
