The Nigerian Railway Corporation, NRC, is yet to speak on the cause of the incident, but many passengers were seen wandering around the derailed train.
Managing Director of NRC, Engr. Fidet Okhiria confirmed the incident, while stating that he was waiting to receive complete information on the incident. Last Sunday, the Itakpe-Warri train derailed in a Kogi forest though the 143 passengers were safely evacuated.
