January 27, (THEWILL) – Few days after the Warri-Itakpe Train Service derailed at km 30 Ajaokuta-Itakpe section of the track inside Kogi forest, another train, coming from Kaduna to Abuja, has derailed close to Kubwa train station, in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
Nigerian railway commission and security officials who were seen at the scene, said there were no casualties.
The officials said the train left Kaduna for Abuja and derailed at the Kubwa axis.
Although, the cause of the incident is yet to be ascertained as at the time of filing the report, but personnel of the Nigerian Police were on ground to protect the passengers.
The Abuja-Kaduna train was suspended in March 2022, after suspected terrorists bombed the train, killed some passengers and abducted 63 others.
For eight months, the train service was suspended over safety concerns and only resumed operations last December.
