A train heading to Abuja from Kaduna derailed on Sunday morning, alarming passengers and prompting immediate response efforts.
The incident occurred around 9:00 AM near Jere, about an hour after the train left Kaduna at 8:05 AM. Fortunately, there have been no casualties reported as a result of the derailment.
The train, carrying dozens of passengers, came off the tracks in a mountainous area, complicating the rescue and repair efforts.
Despite the challenging terrain, three of the train’s carriages were confirmed to have derailed.
Emergency services, including soldiers and police officers, were quickly dispatched to the scene to secure the area and assist in recovery operations.
Efforts are currently underway to repair the train and restore it to full operational status.
