Passengers Panic as Lagos-Bound Train Breaks Down
There was panic among passengers following a breakdown of a Lagos bound passenger train from Ibadan on Monday.
The incident according to a Twitter user, Yinka Seth @inkaseth, who witnessed the incident said it happened in the middle of a forest.
The train was coming from Moniya in Ibadan before it suddenly stopped.
The passengers were afraid of attacks from hoodlums.
The Twitter user also claimed that some steel parts of the rail tracks were removed by some hoodlums, according to Punch Newspaper report.
Part of the tweet reads, “My first tweet went out about 8:12am. It is now 8:31am and the train has stopped twice. The current explanation is that some steel parts of the rail tracks have been ‘removed’, that is the thing about bad governance and citizenship. Eventually, e go touch everybody.
“We are less than 5mins from Moniya in Ibadan and the train has grinded to a halt. Judging by the time stamp of the videos I made, we’ve stopped for 10mins without an explanation.
“At 8:29am, we spotted someone holding a stick. Appeared to either be on a video call or making videos of the halted train. Passengers are tense and it is becoming harder to sit still.”
