On Wednesday, a train bound for Kaduna from Abuja derailed at Asha station in the federal capital territory (FCT), leaving many passengers stranded. A passenger reported to TheCable that the derailment occurred at approximately 3:52 pm, less than 30 minutes after the train departed from Kubwa station in Abuja.

"Passengers are currently stranded as there are no signs of authorities being notified," said the passenger, who wished to remain anonymous.

This incident marks the second derailment on this route in two weeks. On May 26, a train traveling from Rigasa station in Kaduna to Abuja derailed in a mountainous area near Jere. In that incident, three carriages went off the tracks, but there were no casualties.

Security operatives were reportedly present at the scene to assist and safeguard the stranded passengers.
