Some coaches in a train that departed the Rigasa Train Station in Kaduna on Sunday morning for Abuja reportedly derailed in a mountainous area near Jere.
According to reports, the train with many passengers on board left Kaduna about 8 a.m., but after about an hour, about 3 coaches derailed.
Security operatives and soldiers were deployed in the scene of the incident, and the railway engineers were seen trying to repair the damaged parts of the rail track.
Though official statement was being awaited, a source said there was no casualty during the incident.
