Many people died, on Thursday morning, at the Abbatoir area of Agege, in the outskirts of Lagos State when a train derailed.

Several person were seriously injured while many vehicles and other property worth several millions were destroyed.

Lagos State police spokesman, Olarinde Famous-Cole, who confirmed the incident said that the train also rammed into a trailer, injuring many and leaving unconfirmed number of victims feared dead.

According to Famou-Cole, “We just got the information. Our policemen and those attached to the railway command are in control of the situation. I cannot confirm any death, but i can tell you that some persons were injured.

” We shall be able to furnish you with details later please.”

This is unfortunate. May God be with all those affected.

Don't build or sell close to railway tracks. Don't walk on rail tracks. You never know when it will happen.

Rip to the dead thank God it doesn't happen during evening that would have been too bloody because of those that like to hang nd sit on top of the train

Buharri trains, does it mean the federal government cannot keep the trains in good condition to avoid accidents?

First off,RIP to those who lost their lives to this unfortunate event.

Going further,isn't it ridiculous that the dead railway service in Nigeria has trains still killing people round the country?. From the news: How did the train run into a trailer? Do trailers run on tracks? Haba!!
