The Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Nnaemeka Alfred Achebe, has revealed how he narrowly escaped the Kaduna train attack.
According to him, a phone call caused him to abort the journey.
Speaking on Saturday, April 2, when Igbo leaders under the aegis of Ahamefuna Socio-cultural organisation converged in Enugu, Igwe Achebe said he did not board the train because of a phone call inviting him for an emergency.
He said: “I was among the passengers meant to be on the train last Monday because I had a meeting I was supposed to be attending. I was already at the train station when I got a call over an emergency and I had to leave the station to attend to it.”
