A former Senator, representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, Shehu Sani, has faulted the SIM card and National Identification Number linkage as terrorists have contacted family members of passengers abducted on the ill-fated Kaduna-bound train.
It was reported that a train headed for Kaduna from Abuja was attacked by terrorists who detonated explosives laid on the railway tracks.
The attack led to the death of eight passengers including a dentist, Chinelo Megafu, with others injured, while many were kidnapped.
Sani, in a tweet on Thursday, stated that the abductors have been freely calling families of the victims and demanding ransom.
He questioned the need for the SIM and NIN registration if they could not come in handy in dire situations like the train attack.
Sani wrote, “The train kidnappers are freely making calls to the families of their hostages; What happened to the SIM card registration and the NIN hoopla?”
