There are about 41 persons in different hospitals and the total number of passengers who got tickets are 398.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we have to wait on the security, the Kaduna State government, and the Nigerian Railway Corporation. They are all trying to make contact with those on the manifest.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201dThere are few persons who are not on the manifest like the staff of the NRC, staff of the cleaning contractor, they are not on the manifest and we may not be able to completely account for them but those on the manifest, calls are being made to reach them,\u201d Amaechi said.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nOn the security equipments, he said, \u201cThe process is tedious, the approval is also tedious, we have not been able to get that approval that will lead to purchase of those items.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d If those items were here, drones alone will tell you that there are people around the rail tracks because there are drones, there are equipment that pick sensors if you touch the track.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dBut unfortunately the process has not been able to get us that approval for us to import those items. So for me, I am devastated and I honestly don\u2019t know what to tell Nigerians anymore. The cameras in the train cannot pick what is happening outside. What you need is a camera that shows 100 metres away from the train, that there are unknown persons carrying gun.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dThen, we can take precaution, but we have done all we need to do in the ministry of transport and we have forwarded to them for approval but we have not gotten approval.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201dThe patrol vehicles are available but they cannot reach everywhere. For the areas the patrol can patrol, it will forestall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dWe are thinking about the possibility of employing natives until we get those equipment.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has disclosed that about eight persons have been confirmed dead and 41 others hospitalised in the recent attack on the Kaduna bound train.
