Passengers stranded inside bush as Kano-bound train breaks down

-

A train traveling to Kano state from Lagos state has developed faults in a forest outside Osogbo, capital of Osun State, leaving passengers stranded.
Majority of the passenger on the train were going to Kano to celebrate the New Year with their family members and that there was no hope for them to continue the journey.

One of the train passages who is a member of the National Youth Service Corps told our correspondent that since the train developed the fault, the officials of the Nigerian Railway Corporation in the train did not act in a responsible manner and that the passengers were exposed to danger in the bush.




The Corps member said, "This train is going to Kano from Lagos and it developed fault after leaving osogbo. We are in a bush before ikirun since morning. We are stranded here since 7am and there is no hope even till this now. And the authorities are reckless about it. We are suffering in the bush".

Other passengers also lamented that the NRC official in the train did not manage the situation well and called on the top echelon of the Nigerian Railway Corporation to come to their rescue.
