Many Nigerians have taken to social media to express their frustrations about the activities of bandit terrorists, kidnappers, and other criminals who are unleashing terror, pain, and hardship on citizens through their actions.
The latest which is causing outrage on social media is the bomb attack on Monday night by bandits on a train travelling from Abuja to Kaduna with about 1,000 people on board.
As earlier reported by Naija News, bandit terrorists on Monday planted explosives believed to be IEDs on the rail track around Katari, Kaduna State which saw a Kaduna-bound train derail.
It was gathered that the train which took off around 6 pm from the Idu train station at the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja on Monday hit an explosive device about 30 minutes to Rigasa train station in Kaduna.
The development comes barely 48 hours after bandits had also attacked the Kaduna International Airport.
The attacks have sparked angry reactions from Nigerians who are lamenting the insecurity plaguing the country and the failure of government.
See some of the reactions culled by Naija News from Twitter.
Abuja is too comfortable for all the danger that surrounds it. Worse still is reducing these incidents with the word "bandits"
The handwriting on the wall is too clear for anyone not to see.

The Abuja-Kaduna train getting attacked doesn’t bode well. Clearly, the bandits are trying to get people back to traveling by road. I hope the Nigerian Army prioritises these terrorists. They are now more dangerous than BH. https://t.co/dY3lQWMooF

People who are enormously benefiting from Buhari’s government don’t even defend his incompetence here again but some slaves won’t stop defending, funny thing is politicians don’t even rate them, maybe until bandits attacks one of you the others will learn.

Bandits bombing the Kaduna-Abuja train (as headlined), shows the level of insecurity in Nigeria; APC govt is busy holding convention & aiding other countries fight their crises, whereas Nigeria is up in flames. It's not surprising since the govt is full of terrorist sympathizers.

With this bombing of the Abuja-Kaduna train by bandits, we need to ask if we have a government in Nigeria. Is the man in Aso Rock a president or just a decoration? First bandits took over the Kaduna airport. Now this bombing? And APC is positioning El-Rufai for VP?#TableShaker

The police are killing the citizens, bandits are killing the citizens, the government is focused on filling their pockets. What a shame!

Just 48 hours after attacking Kaduna airport, bandits have attacked an Abuja-Kaduna bound train. We have to assume they are the same bandits
You see why incompetence can kill a nation?
If these bandits were neutralized at the airport, lives would have been saved yesterday

⚡Kaduna Airport attacked
Normal people – this is worrisome

Normal people – how could this be happening

Exactly 48hrs ago bandits have attacked an airport in Kaduna and now Abuja-Kaduna train is under attack by bandits. Gov. @elrufai need to tell us who is sponsoring bandits in Kaduna. His silence is deepening!! pic.twitter.com/duIAj6eJV1

2 days ago, Bandits laid siege on Kaduna International Airport, kill NAMA staff, left many wounded.
Today, Terrorists bombed Abuja-Kaduna railway track with 970 passengers onboard.
Yet APC still has the gut to ask Nigerians for re-election in 2023.

Again, I am reminding you and praying for you:
May you not be victim of bandits and accidents.
May your relocation efforts via Scholarship or job out of Nigeria become fruitful very soon.
Before 2023 election, you are out.
RT and say Amen.

Yesterday’s train in Kaduna that got attacked by bandits had a female medical doctor on it.
She got shot and tweeted asking for prayers. Some people ridiculed her and mocked her.
This morning she is dead. RIP Chinelo.
May God console your family and may they find strength ?? pic.twitter.com/4ZDz3nRJuY

You don’t want to go by land because of bandits.
You don’t want to go by air because they increased the money
Okay train is safer, terrorists still attack.
Wallai we are in soup in this country.

If the bandits are not dealt with decisively, I am afraid even the day rides are still a big risk.

I cannot believe we have an active government and bandits dare to rob a train hundreds of miles from the capital of our country. We are simply telling neighboring countries to come and overthrow our government. Not good at all.
