The passenger train was heading to Kaduna from Abuja on Friday when the accident occurred, SaharaReporters learnt.

The Nigeria Railway Corporation is yet to confirm the incident.

This is coming a few days after a train plying the Warri-Itakpe route derailed in Kogi State, North Central Nigeria.

The incident happened inside a Kogi State forest.

Several passengers were said to have abandoned the train for fear of being kidnapped.

On January 7, 2023, some gunmen kidnapped 20 passengers waiting to board a train at the train station in the Igueben Local Government Area of the Edo State.

Less than a week after an Itakpe-Warri train derailed in Kogi, another train on Friday derailed in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

The Abuja-Kaduna Train Service, it was gathered, derailed at Kubwa on Friday afternoon leaving hundreds of passengers stranded.

The immediate cause of the derailment was not known as of press time but many passengers were seen wondering around the derailed train.

Managing Director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), Engr. Fidet Okhiria confirmed the incident.

However, he was just trying to obtain information on the incident.

It would be recalled that an Itakpe-Warri train had on Sunday derailed in a Kogi forest though the 143 passengers were safely evacuated.

The NRC later shut down the train service while repair work commenced immediately.

The Corporation said it suspected vandalism as the cause of the derailment while investigation is ongoing.

Hmmm

In Nigeria everything is derailing not just train, they just deraild the osun election tribunal judgement, but with Peter Obi the future is brighter and nothing will derail nigeria's future PrOgress.

From one disaster to another. What is really wrong with this nation sef?

It was the last coach that derailed. It's obvious that people are mining the bolts and nuts from the look of things. It was a bend in the tracks that caused it. Its a simple fix so there shouldn't be much Ado over nothing.

This is what happens when u buy refurbished chinko trains

No peace for the wicked. You better come and develop train in the South, so that spirit will stop tormenting you guys. If not, constant derailing/wotowoto will be your portion. 😂😂

APC and Tinubu are very evil, don't vote for them

Out of many of you people, none of you stand tall. Shame! These trains don’t look new, the minister of transportation can’t even get it right too!

APC and Baduck are one

Nigeria na cruise zone.

Anything violence and bloodshed na normal least of all Train derailment?? Na small thing

We never see anything

Not again...hope its not another attack

The things happening to our railway system for some time would leave one to imagine if it's like that in another part of the world.

From derailings to hijackings.

When I say Nigeria is not destined to be great, some of you think it's just my opinion or I am saying rubbish. See, I know what I am saying.


I won't be surprised that it's some people that went to spoil the rail like they did the other time now see what it has caused


Even if Peter obi is president and does things, these urchins like you guys call APC supporters here will still go and damage it just to make him look bad.

Looking like these trains were poorly manufactured.

🤣

Make bandits no hear this news sha....

Omo this country na cruise o.

See what Tinubu was saying earlier. They'd try to sabotage his efforts but they would fail woefully.

It's official nothing is working again in the country

Even train can't move on track just like everything

Good news for wailers

Is this now a case of sabotage or bad rail track construction.

APC train

Really?

Very Bad indeed

APC's "world-class" projects 🤣🤣🤣

We must not miss the chance to vote out these people.

Trian rail that's is not up to 2 years look at what we are experiencing. APC government is such a huge blow to us Nigerians
