Two dead as trains collide in Lagos

Two persons were killed on Sunday, after two trains collided in the Agege area of Lagos State. The two dead passengers were hanging illegally by the moving train’s rooftop when the sad incident occurred.


Mr Akin Osinowo, Lagos Railway District Manager (RDM) has called on the families of the deceased to come and collect the corpses at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Ebute-Meta.

Meanwhile, a panel of inquiry has, however, been set up to get to the root cause of the unfortunate collision between the two trains.

According to the Managing Director of the NRC, Mr Adeseyi Sijuwade, members of the panel include Directors of Operations, Electrical, Mechanical, Signal and Intelligent Unit.
