About 60 cows have been killed on Wednesday morning, October 28, by a train shuttling between the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and Kaduna state.
A former senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani narrated how the tragic incident occurred in a post on his verified Twitter handle.
Sani, who said he was a passenger on the train, narrated that the cows “strayed along the tracks” when the train was coming.
According to him, the herdsmen coordinating the cow ran into the bush upon seeing what has happened but not without “raining curses.”
The former lawmaker said the train, however, stopped in the bush before continuing its journey.
He called on the railway authorities to reach out to the chief of Rijana village where the incident happened and promptly address the issues before degenerating into anger and violence.
He tweeted:
“Today, the Kaduna-Abuja morning train of which I happened to be a passenger killed over 60 cows that strayed along the tracks, before the train finally stopped in the Bush and we later moved on. “The Herdsmen ran into the Bush raining curses. I call on the Railway Authorities to reach out to the Chief of Rijana Village and address the issues.”
