The Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau has given insight into a railway incident involving a passenger train operating on the Rigasa–Idu rail corridor.
He also alleged that the defendants stole electrical wires, materials and fittings.
According to him, the railway is a critical national asset.
Three friends were arraigned on Monday before the Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court in Ibadan for stealing railway bolts and nuts.
Mr Akande stated that the speculation had no iota of truth.
Mr Opeifa said rails, sleepers, signal poles, billboards and fences belonging to NRC tenants along the corridor were destroyed and carted away.
Ms Felix said the November 18 visit was part of a broader effort to deepen interagency collaboration with the military to protect railway tracks.
Mr Gyang stated, “Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time.’’
Mr Opeifa said the arrest marks a major breakthrough in the corporation’s campaign against vandalism.
“The damage was discovered during a routine inspection on Monday, October 6,” the statement said.
