The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has suspended the train services along the Abuja-Kaduna corridor.
The suspension of the services followed a derailment of the train at Kubwa area of Abuja on Friday.
The Abuja-bound train derailed with no casualty or fatality recorded, Meridianspy gathered.
An official of the NRC at the Kubwa train station who pleaded anonymity told The Nation that the incident occurred at about 3:15 pm which coincided with the arrival of the afternoon train.
The number of passengers and crew members on board could not be ascertained.
This incident is coming barely a week after train service along the Warri-Itakpe corridor was also suspended due to derailment.
Explaining how the incident occurred, he said: “The derailment occurred close to the station. There were no casualties and all of them (passengers) were successfully disembarked.
“At the moment when the train approached a point where it was supposed to take a turn, it derailed from the rail line.”
