For the umpteenth time, hundreds of passengers on the Abuja-Kaduna train service were again stranded in the bush after the train developed a fault minutes after leaving Rigasa station in Kaduna state. xA passenger claimed that the train had initially stopped twice before it finally broke down in Dutse, Kaduna state around 7am. Another passenger said he had a similar experience on Saturday, saying they spent five hours to get to Abuja. An NRC engineer, who addressed the passengers, told them that it would take them two hours to fix the train. We have contacted the Idu Train Station for another locomotive.
