Managing Director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), Fidet Okhiria, has disclosed that about 14 passengers kidnapped at the Tom Ikimi train station in Edo State were still with the kidnappers.
Okhiria, who made the disclosure during an interview on a television programme yesterday, also said approval has not been gotten to acquire sophisticated security systems.
On whether lessons were learnt from the attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train, he said: “We learned a lot from the last attack. We have deployed some systems and improved our security by increasing the number of personnel; vigilantes, Army, Police, and some technology; but we are not there yet”.
“We have to continue to improve and make sure that we get the required result”, he further stated.
He, however, said efforts were on to rescue them.
