NSIB Launches Investigation into Abuja-Kaduna Train Derailment

•Tinubu expresses sadness over incident

Deji Elumoye and Kasim Sumaina in Abuja

The Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) yesterday said that a team had been deployed to the site of the Abuja-Kaduna bound train that derailed, in a bid to gather evidence, engage relevant stakeholders, and commence investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
NSIB noted it was aware of the derailment involving the Kaduna-bound train service which occurred at approximately 11:09 a.m at kilometre 49, between Kubwa and Asham stations.
The Bureau said that current information available indicated that six persons sustained injuries, with no recorded fatalities.
Commenting on the incident, in a statement issued by the Director, Public Affairs and Family Assistance, NSIB, Mrs. Bimbo Oladeji, the Director General of NSIB, Captain Alex Badeh Jr., sympathised with all those who sustained injuries.
“The Bureau has deployed investigators to the site to ensure the root cause of this derailment is uncovered,” he added.
Badeh stressed that the investigation will focus on identifying the direct and underlying factors that led to the derailment, with the aim of issuing safety recommendations to prevent a recurrence.
“Our commitment is to ensure safer rail transport for Nigerians through a transparent and independent investigation. The NSIB will provide updates as the investigation progresses,” he stressed.
Meanwhile, President Bola Tinubu, who is on an official visit to Brazil, on Tuesday expressed sadness over the Abuja-Kaduna train that derailed earlier in the day.
The President, on his verified X handle, @PBAT, added that he had been briefed about the incident and expected to be updated from time to time.
“Even while in Brazil, I have received reports of today’s Abuja–Kaduna train derailment. I am deeply saddened by this incident. My heartfelt prayers are with the injured, their families, and all passengers who went through this distressing experience.
“I am staying updated on the latest developments and await a full briefing to ensure swift action and support for all affected. The NRC is already addressing the situation, and necessary steps are expected to be taken to prevent similar occurrences in the future,” he added.

    Stop the Malicious Lies, Onanuga Tackles US Senator over Persecution of Christians in Nigeria Claim

    Chuks Okocha in Abuja

    The Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President Bola Tinubu, Mr Bayo Onanuga, has dismissed as “malicious, contrived lies” a claim by US Senator Ted Cruz that Nigerian officials were ignoring the mass killing of Christians.

    Cruz had alleged that Islamist jihadists were carrying out “mass murder of Christians” in Nigeria with the complicity of state officials.

    “Officials in Nigeria are ignoring and even facilitating the mass murder of Christians by Islamist jihadists,” the senator wrote on X.

    “It’s time to hold those responsible accountable. My Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act would target these officials with powerful sanctions and other tools.”

    In a riposte on the same social media platform, Onanuga said Nigeria does not have a religious war and insisted that terrorists and bandits kill without discrimination.

    “Senator, stop these malicious, contrived lies against my country. We do not have a religious war in my country,” the president’s spokesperson wrote.

    “The degraded Boko Haram terrorists operating on the fringes of Nigeria’s North-east target everyone. They attack farmers, our soldiers.

    “The bandits in the North-west kill worshippers in their mosques. Christians are not targeted. We have religious harmony in our country. Stop these malicious lies.”

    On Tuesday, President Tinubu had said allegations of religious genocide in Nigeria were unfounded, noting that the country was built on the faith and resilience of its people.

    Speaking in Owerri, the Imo State capital, the president said no religion was under threat in the country, noting that Nigerians, after 65 years of independence, have learned to appreciate their cultural and religious diversity.

    Saraki to AbdulRazaq: Face Your Responsibility as Governor, Secure Kwara

    • Faults governor’s comments on Offa robbery, worsening insecurity
    Sunday Ehigiator

    Former Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has called on Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, to live up to his responsibility as the state’s Chief Security Officer and take decisive action to curb the worsening insecurity in the state.
    Saraki, in a statement issued yesterday by his media office and signed by Yusuph Olaniyonu, criticised the governor over a recent video in which he allegedly made “reckless and defamatory” comments linking the former Senate President to the 2018 Offa robbery incident.
    In what Saraki described as “another tragic episode in the growing wave of attacks across Kwara South and North,” bandits had killed 21 people in Oke Ode.
    According to the statement, the governor’s attempt to compare the series of bandit attacks currently ravaging several local governments to the Offa robbery incident of seven years ago reflected “either insensitivity or a lack of capacity to appreciate and process issues.”

    “It is laughable that a state governor whose people were massacred in Oke Ode waited five days before visiting the community,” the statement read.
    “Instead of focusing on security, he found time to attend a project commissioned in another state while his own people were being slaughtered.”
    Saraki accused AbdulRazaq of failing to convene regular security council meetings and urged him to expand the state’s Security Council to include first- and second-class traditional rulers for more effective community engagement in tackling insecurity.
    The statement further noted that Saraki’s public comments had at least “forced the governor to visit Oke Ode” and drawn national attention to the growing wave of kidnappings and killings in Kwara State.
    On the governor’s reference to the 2018 Offa robbery case, Saraki reiterated that the former Senate President had been cleared of any link to the incident by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution of the Federation in two separate reports dated June 22 and August 23, 2018.
    “There was no evidence, directly or indirectly, linking Dr. Saraki to the Offa robbery. This was confirmed by the federal government’s own legal machinery despite their hostility toward him at the time,” Olaniyonu stated.
    The statement also accused the governor of sponsoring a fresh civil case involving some purported families of Offa robbery victims, allegedly aimed at embarrassing Saraki. It cited a press conference by members of the Offa community under the “Offa Koya, Offa Kowosi” group, as well as public statements by some victims’ relatives, distancing themselves from the political exploitation of the tragedy.
    Saraki urged Governor AbdulRazaq to stop politicising the Offa robbery and focus instead on restoring peace and stability in the state.
    “If this slanderous statement is his way of diverting attention from his failure to secure the state, then he has failed,” the statement concluded.
    The former Senate President maintained that his concern was not politics but the safety and well-being of the people, warning that the escalating violence across Kwara could define AbdulRazaq’s legacy if not urgently addressed.
