Two
passengers reportedly died while one sustained severe injuries when two
trains collided on Sunday in the Agege area of Lagos State.
Mr Akin Osinowo, Lagos Railway District Manager (RDM), confirmed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Monday.
Osinowo called on the families of the deceased to come and collect the corpses at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Ebute-Meta, with relevant information.
Osinowo said that the two casualties were passengers who illegally hanged on the rooftop of the moving train.
He added that the injured passenger was currently receiving treatment at a hospital.
The district manager said that the Managing Director of the NRC, Mr Adeseyi Sijuwade, has instituted a panel of inquiry to find out the immediate and remote causes of the incident.
According to him, members of the panel are the Directors of Operations, Electrical, Mechanical, Signal and Intelligent Unit.
"The Managing Director directed the head of various departments to visit the site and interview eyewitnesses, visit the police station and make inquiry.
"The families of the deceased should bring a documentary evidence to support their claim, evidence of identity of the corpses, evidence of their relationship with the dead and a sworn affidavit.
"After being certified, they will be referred to the police authority where we will ensure that the bodies are released to them," Osinowo said.
