A train travelling along the Abuja-Kaduna route reportedly derailed, on Friday.
A former senator, Shehu Sani, revealed this in a tweet via his verified Twitter account, asking the Nigeria Railway Corporation (NRC) to help secure the passengers.
His tweet read, “Kaduna Abuja Train derails; NRC please ensure the security and safety of the stranded passengers.”

Although details of the details were not given by the senator, Punch reported that a source revealed the derail occurred at the Kubwa station.
This is coming only a few days after a train plying the Warri-Itakpe route derailed and staff members of the railway station had to rescue passengers with cabs.
Along the same Abuja-Kaduna route was a train attacked by bandits last year, leaving some dead and others abducted.
This attack led to the suspension of train services along the route which had only resumed recently.
More details on the attack soon…
