Nigerians have reacted to the denial of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) concerning the attack on the Kaduna-Abuja train stating that it was "hoodlums" and not "bandits" that attacked the train, with a Twitter user saying that the Buhari-led administration "has given terrorism every name in the book".
AllNews had reported on the attack on an Abuja bound train that was attacked by bandits, a report that was denied by the NRC.
In a statement, the NRC had said, “There was no bandit attack on the train; it’s just a rumour otherwise, they will have seen bullets all over the train.
"It was hoodlums who threw stones at the train and because the police got one suspect, at night, more hoodlums came out to attack the train in protest against the arrest made in the afternoon.
“NRC has, however, spoken to security agencies to help us prevent such future occurrences and intervene in the matter, so they will know how best to deal with the situation.”

He’s their mentor. So don’t expect him to call them terrorist.
