Buhari, Osinbajo observe one-minute silence for bombed train victims
The Federal Executive Council (FEC), on Wednesday in Abuja, observed a minute’s silence in honour of the victims aboard the Kaduna-bound train attacked by bandits.
The meeting, presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari, began with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, calling for a minute of silence to be observed in honour of the victims.
The Kaduna-bound train, which left Abuja at 6:00 p.m., was attacked by bandits at about 7:45 p.m., just about 15 minutes drive before Kaduna.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the Chief of Staff to the President, Ibrahim Gambari, attended the meeting.
Also, the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno, the Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Folashade Yemi-Esan, among others, were in attendance.
