A passenger train traveling from Abuja to Kaduna derailed on Tuesday morning, throwing several carriages off the tracks and sparking panic among passengers.
The accident happened shortly after the train departed Abuja around 11 a.m. on its way to Kaduna.
Witnesses said the train suddenly shook before some of the carriages overturned, forcing people to scramble for safety. Many passengers were seen helping one another to escape through broken windows and doors.
The atmosphere at the scene was chaotic, with frightened passengers shouting and rushing away from the derailed coaches. Some were carrying their belongings while others abandoned their luggage in a bid to get to safety as quickly as possible.
Although no official statement has been released yet, early reports suggest that emergency teams and soldiers arrived at the location to rescue stranded passengers and restore order.
Military trucks were also deployed to move people away from the danger zone.
The cause of the derailment is still unknown. Authorities are expected to carry out an investigation to determine whether it was due to mechanical failure, poor track maintenance, or any other factor.
As of now, there has been no confirmation of injuries or fatalities, but officials say further information will be shared soon.
This is not the first time the Abuja-Kaduna train service has faced safety concerns.
The route, which is widely used by travelers and commuters, has experienced past attacks and disruptions, raising questions about the safety of the rail corridor.
