Passengers on the Abuja-Kaduna train were stranded on Friday in the Kubwa area of Abuja when the train conveying them derailed.
According to reports, the incident happened a few distances to its destination at about 3:20 pm and left the passengers frustrated.
Today’s derailment occurred barely a week after 300 stranded passengers on the Warri-Itakpe train missed its track in Kogi State.
In the latest incident, there were no reports of casualties, though the exact reason for the derailment is still sketchy.
The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), which manages rail transportation in the country, was yet to give an update on the situation.
The administration of President Muhammadu Buhari revamped the rail system in the country. Loans were taken from China to build rail tracks to ease the movement of people from one point to another.
