Police authorities have announced the arrest of the alleged mastermind behind the tragic killing of passengers aboard the Abuja-Kaduna train, which occurred in March 2022.

Identified as Ibrahim Abdullahi, also known by the ominous moniker “Mandi,” the suspect was apprehended by law enforcement officials.

This significant development was disclosed by the Police Public Relations Officer in Kaduna, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, during a media briefing on Thursday.

According to Adejobi, Ibrahim Abdullahi, alias Mandi, is believed to have orchestrated the attack on the train, resulting in the loss of innocent lives.

Additionally, it was revealed that Abdullahi had previously been involved in the abduction of students from Greenfield University in 2021, further implicating him in serious criminal activities.

During Abdullahi’s arrest, law enforcement officers seized 48 AK-47 rifles, shedding light on the extent of his involvement in illicit arms dealings and violent crimes. Efforts are now underway to identify Abdullahi’s sponsors and suppliers of weapons
