Stating that the number of confirmed deaths still remains eight, he commended the security agencies for all the support.

“We are very appreciative of the Squadron Commander MOPOL 1 Kaduna visit to the accident site today (yesterday),” he said.

On the efforts to restore the service, the NRC MD said two coaches (SP 00016 and SP 00017) earlier re-railed were safely moved to Rigasa Station bringing the total number of recovered coaches and safely moved to NRC stations to seven.

He added, “Intensive work continues on track repairs. More concrete sleepers were moved to site while some section of twisted tracks has been straightened.”
