NRC suspends Abuja-Kaduna service as train derails again
The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has suspended the Abuja-Kaduna rail services after a train derailed on the corridor.
A train said to be a few minutes from its destination in Abuja derailed on Friday afternoon.
The incident was said to have occurred in the Kubwa area of the federal capital territory (FCT).
In an update seen by newsmen, the NRC said it suspended services on the route, due to ‘unforeseen circumstances’.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Abuja-Kaduna train services has been suspended,” the corporation said in an update on its mobile application.
The development comes a few days after the Warri-Itakpe train service derailed at kilometre 30 Ajaokuta-Itakpe section of the track.
