A rickety passenger train veered off the tracks in the Agege, Mangoro area of Lagos in the early hours of today, Thursday, January 10, with casualty figures yet to be ascertained.
Social media users say traffic along the Ikeja-Along—Iyana Ipaja axis has come to a standstill during the rush hour regular commute.
A coach or two have been photographed crashing off the track into the neighbourhood beside it, with initial reports suggesting that the derailment may have hit a few persons. Pulse is unable to verify this bit of information at the moment.
Train derailment in Lagos, Nigeria’s economic nerve center, is quite common. On November 16, 2017, a train derailed around the Abattoir area of Agege, injuring many and leaving scores dead.
On July 20, 2018, a train rammed into a Danfo bus that had suddenly gotten in the way, killing at least nine persons.
