Following the derailment of an Abuja-Kaduna train at the Asham station in the Chikun area of Kaduna State, the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has blamed the action on vandals.
The incident occurred at 3:52 pm on Wednesday shortly after the train departed the Kubwa station in the nationās capital.
In a statement, the NRC said the train āexperienced train technical hitch in our operation at Asham Railway Station in Chikun Local Government of Kaduna State.ā
āThis minor hitch is attributed to the removal of track fastening clips by vandals,ā the statement signed by the corporationās Deputy Director of Public Relations, Yakub Mahmood, read.
āHowever, the NRC Management remains resolute towards ensuring the safety of our valued passengers in the entire system.ā
Earlier, the agency said it would cancel the first train scheduled for Thursday, June 6 from Kaduna State.
It, however, assured that other train services would go on as planned, apologising to the public for any inconvenience the action may cause.
āFor operational reasons, the first train from Kaduna (Rigasa) scheduled for 08.00 hours will be cancelled on Thursday 6th June 2024 only, while all other train services will run as scheduled.
āNRC Management deeply regrets the inconveniences that this technical hitch might have caused our esteemed passengers,ā Mahmood said.
This is not the first time a train will derail in Kaduna State. On May 26, 2024, a train conveying passengers from Abuja to Kaduna derailed at Jere in Kaduna State.
