JUST IN: Passengers Injured as Abuja–Kaduna Train Derails
Passengers sustained injuries on Monday morning after a train operating along the Abuja–Kaduna Railway was involved in a derailment incident, forcing the service to halt midway through its journey.
According to early reports, the train departed from Abuja en route to Kaduna when part of the train reportedly left the track, causing panic among passengers onboard. Some travelers were said to have sustained minor injuries during the sudden disruption.
Emergency responders and railway officials quickly moved to assist affected passengers and ensure their safe evacuation from the train. Medical attention was reportedly provided to those injured.
The train service is operated by the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC). As of the time of filing this report, the corporation has yet to release an official statement explaining the cause of the derailment.
The Abuja–Kaduna rail corridor remains one of the most frequently used transport routes in Nigeria, especially by travelers seeking safer alternatives to the Abuja–Kaduna Highway, which has experienced security challenges in recent years.
Authorities are expected to launch a technical investigation to determine the cause of the incident and prevent future occurrences.
More details will follow as the story develops.
