Abuja – Kaduna Train Derails, Passengers Safe

🚨 Abuja – Kaduna Train Derails, Passengers Safe

A passenger train traveling from Abuja to Kaduna derailed earlier today, causing panic among commuters but no immediate loss of life has been reported.

The incident occurred along a section of the popular Abuja–Kaduna rail line, a route that has become one of the busiest in the country due to insecurity concerns on the highway. Eyewitnesses said the train suddenly went off track, forcing an abrupt halt of the journey.

Officials of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) and emergency response teams quickly arrived at the scene to assess the situation and assist stranded passengers. Preliminary reports suggest a possible technical fault, though investigations are still ongoing to determine the exact cause.

Passengers expressed shock but also relief that the derailment did not result in casualties. One passenger described the moment as “terrifying, but we thank God it didn’t turn tragic.”

The NRC has assured the public that engineers are already working to restore normal operations and that safety remains a top priority.

This derailment adds to concerns about Nigeria’s railway infrastructure, which has faced repeated challenges ranging from technical faults to security incidents.
