Where is Alwan Ali Hassan, the Managing Director of the Bank of Agriculture (BOA), based in Abuja?
Hassan was on the ill-fated train from Abuja, heading to Kaduna on Monday night, when it was attacked by terrorists during the journey.
The Abuja-Kaduna train was attacked at a point between Katari and Rijana areas of Kaduna State.
Since then, Hassan has been incommunicado and is believed to have been kidnapped by the terrorists.
“We cannot tell if he has been kidnapped or not but we are worried because we have been unable to reach him since yesterday.
“His phone lines have been switched off and no one has contacted the bank or any of his family members,” a source close to his family told The Nation on Tuesday.
So far, eight people have been confirmed killed, 26 injured, while many were abducted by the terrorists.
Among the dead were two officials of the Trade Union Congress (TUC).
They were the Secretary-General, Barr. Musa-Lawal Ozigi, and TUC Chairman in Kwara, Comrade Akinsola Akinwunmi.
