Passengers were left stranded after a train heading from Kano to Lagos derailed in a forest in Ilorin, Kwara state capital. The incident was said to have left the passengers stranded including women and children as some travellers trekked for long distance in order to access vehicles.

An appeal is being made for Kwara state government to send relief materials to the stranded passengers and find a means to rescue them from the forest.

Facebook user Anthony Odoh shared the sad news online. Below is what he wrote;

Our train heading to Kano from Lagos derailed today in a forest after Ilorin. A lot of people especially women and children are stranded. We managed to walk for a long distance to have access to vehicles. Kwara State Government should send relief materials to the women and children and find means of bringing them out of the forest.

Pray for us.

What a country!


To ply the road with either Okada, danfo, car, range rover or the latest of tech engine, nah still journeying through the shadow of avoidable death.

You fly in an airplane, the plane is either in bad shape or the control tower lacks the necessary quality navigation systems.

You enter boat, dah one nah die cuz no body go fit rescue on time. Now the train dey derail as if nah just a container dey fall off.

I just tire for this country.

But you wawa miscreants said GEJ commissioned those trains na?

Im any case, we've seen how you people have been enjoying GEJ's achievements in your region. The roads you claimed GEJ gave to you have been killing tons of people in accidents and you're now begging Buhari to fix it.

Also, how about the Sam Mbakwe Airport and Fishpond in Owerri? Is it still in use?
