The Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau Six has confirmed that six passengers sustained injuries on Tuesday at approximately 11:09 am, after a Kaduna-bound train derailed at KM 49 between Kubwa Station and Asham Station which prompted the deployment of a go-team to the site to gather evidence, engage stakeholders, and begin an investigation into the accident.

According to a statement signed by Director, Public Affairs and Family Assistance, Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau, Bimbo Olawumi Oladeji, on Tuesday, the accident took place at KM 49, between Kubwa Station and Asham Station.

The statement confirmed the Current information indicated that six passengers sustained injuries, though no fatalities were recorded.

The NSIB also confirmed that a go-team has been deployed to the site to collect evidence, interact with stakeholders, and begin investigating the circumstances that led to the derailment.

The Bureau sympathized with those injured and extended its support to all passengers affected noting that the investigation will focus on identifying the direct and underlying factors that led to the derailment, with the aim of issuing safety recommendations to prevent a recurrence.

Director General of NSIB, Captain Alex Badeh while commenting on the incident, also sympathized with all who sustained injuries saying the Bureau has deployed investigators to the site to ensure the root cause of this derailment is uncovered.

The Bureau restated its commitment to ensure safer rail transport for Nigerians through a transparent and independent investigation adding that updates would be provided as the investigation progresses.

The incident was reported to have occurred along the busy corridor shortly after the train left Abuja around 11 a.m. on its way to Kaduna.

The derailment threw passengers into panic, forcing many to flee for safety, while eyewitnesses described the scene as chaotic and terrifying.

The cause of this derailment is very simple to determine.

From the pictures of the rail infrastructure before and after the accident, it’s easy to deduce that poor conditions of the rail infrastructure caused by a likely landslide or earth movement caused the derailment.

The pictures show that the running rails and the sleepers moved because the soil was weak and eroded perhaps by rainwaters.

The tracks had no protection by means of water channels and embankments and hence would be exposed to the effects of rainfalls and stagnant water which would erode the soil.

Additionally, with the infrastructure compromised largely due to poor engineering and environmental designs, the train itself is a very heavy machine weighing thousands of tonnes and derailed because the track couldn’t bear its weight.

It’s also evident that Nigeria Railway Cooperation is still very backward and rudimentary with regards to safety of tracks and track inspections.

Otherwise this track defects and poor engineering and environmental design inherent in the project execution process would not have happened.

Trains should be safer than roads but in Nigeria accidents happen because of negligence and corruption.

This investigation will make no difference.

Nigeria. What kind of news is this? Train derailment? All is well! Result of years of corruption, nepotism, prebendalism, contract racketeering. E go touch everybody, everyone go collect gbasgbos. Let me swallow my spit.

Noted.

Please post all threads in the right section, and

Nigerians wil never stop sabotaging infrastructure that is meant to make their lives easier.

Our things always dey get k-leg. Train of yesterday

Are you pondering what I am pondering? Iron condemn guys don remove the bots...

Thank God no life was lost but we really need to sit up in this country. Between the leaders and the citizens we don't even know who is worst.
God help us

It's sad how we lack maintenance culture in Nigeria.. the signs have been there all along but the management of NRC decided not to act.

When last did NRC run maintenance checks and repairs on the rail track from Abuja - Kaduna? Your guess is as good as mine.

What the White man will see and correct to prevent accidents, the typical black man will see, neglect and then blame the accidents from their carelessness on the devil.

Black man and inferiority complex ,see how you are running down your country like trains don't derail in saner climes , see link below in just 1 week 2 derailment happened in almighty usa ,Chicago

Black man with pride in failing, trains derail everywhere in the world but for every accident the cause tells the real story.

You are proud of failure

You are so very shameless and a disgrace really.
When was the Abuja - Kaduna rail tracks commissioned?
Very recent.
How is the derailment in your news video related to this catastrophic accident in Nigeria?
And how’s it normal for you to prefer competing in failures?

What was the emergency response and care given to the passengers of that failed train, how many hours weee they stranded in the middle of no where at the mercy of the elements and criminals?

Trains derail everywhere for known reasons of wrong routing or what we call Points failures but in Nigeria they derail because of corruption.

By the way, I just finished working trains, so I got time.

And they paid the Chinese how much to make this potential death trap? We are sooo backwards it's unbelievable .

lol. the iron sellers have removed the iron used to hold down the rails. we live in a lawless country and everyone wants to cheat the system

Your point is needless.
Pls confirm how old the trains and tracks that failed in d US is, compared to this our own.

Its not really about running down on the country. We spent so much money and are still paying loans...only to have this kind of shoddy work. Yet amaechi is busy making mouth on his achievement as transport minister. How can rail coaches be flying off like in this case. My friend was just lucky that this didnt happen in a bandit infested area. Hopefully they'll learn to do better.
