She added that the two trains continued their journey after the damaged section was fixed.

“The trip was smooth and we had gone past the station at Abeokuta , moving towards Papalanto, when the train stopped and reversed some few meters.

“We were agitated and started asking questions. An announcement was made by the NRC official on board that, their technicians were fixing a fault on the track, and that it would not take long.

“True to their word, we left after 20 minutes of stoppage. But I was afraid while the whole thing lasted because of the materials on my laptop.

“There is no backup, and it would have been a huge loss if anything had happened to my laptop,” she said.

Another passenger, who identified himself as Promise, said, the temporary stoppage caused panic on board the train.

He, however, added that there were armed security agents on board,and technicians, who quickly fixed the damaged track. (Punch/vitalnews)
