Many passengers were also said to have abandoned the train over fear of being kidnapped by bandits.

It was gathered that the train left Warri early on Sunday morning and got derailed at about 12:noon inside the thick forest between Ajaokuta and Itakpe.

The source revealed that four coaches and the head coach of the train are badly damaged beyond repair.

The up to 300 stranded passengers were told by the officials of the Nigeria Railway Corporation to remain calm and sit back in the train while they mobilised for help.
