Derailment: Nigeria suspends Abuja-Kaduna train services

According to the Nigerian Railway Corporation, the train service between Abuja and Kaduna has been temporarily suspended following a derailment on Friday in Kubwa, Abuja (NRC).

Mr Niyi Alli, Director of Operations for NRC, apologised to anyone whose plans for Friday travel were interfered with and expressed his concern about the incident.

“The Board and Management of NRC regret to inform the general public, particularly our passengers of AK3 and KA4 of today, January 27, that the disruption experienced on our Abuja-Kaduna Train Service was a result of the derailment of KA4 at Kubwa station.

“There was no casualty recorded. We sincerely apologise to passengers whose planned trips were affected by this incident.

“The NRC rescue team has been mobilised to the site to re-rail the rolling stock and repair the track. Consequently, the Abuja Kaduna Train Service is temporarily suspended.

“While assuring early recommencement of the service, all inconveniences to our esteemed passengers are highly regretted,” Alli stated.

The director then reaffirmed the company’s dedication to implementing new safety measures on trains across the country.

After being shut down for over eight months following an attack on the rails and passengers on March 28, 2022, train service in the corridor resumed operations on December 5. This was reported by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

Eight persons were killed, while many more were injured and kidnapped for sixty victims.
