BREAKING: Tinubu cancels colloquium to honour Abuja-Kaduna train attack victims

Former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has cancelled the colloquium organised in commemoration of his 70th birthday.

The chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) said the event could not continue in the wake of the attack on a train heading to Kaduna state from Abuja.

The train was attacked by gunmen in the Kateri-Rijana area of Kaduna on Monday night.

Speaking shortly after arriving at the colloquium on Tuesday, Tinubu said he could not be celebrating and rejoicing amidst a national tragedy.

He asked the attendees to “go home and pray” for the victims of the attack.
