Obi, on Tuesday tweeted: “The terror attacks on Kaduna Airport and on Abuja-Kaduna bound train, with several persons reportedly abducted is depressing and disheartening and underscores the worsening level of insecurity across the country.
“The challenges of insecurity is too much of a burden on Nigerians already battling with hardship and poverty. Sadly, the worsening level of insecurity only further aggravates the negative performance of Nigeria’s economy.”
While condoling with the families of the bereaved, Obi sympathised with the traumatised passengers.
He urged security agencies in the country to remain resolute in the fight against terrorism in the country.
“The terror attacks in Kaduna and different parts of the country, have become very worrisome and should serve as wake up call to the government to beef up the country’s security and be more proactive in handling security issues,” Obi asserted.
