Travellers have been thrown into panic as a train conveying them from Ibadan to Lagos broke down in the middle of a forest.
The train stopped about 10 minutes after they left the Moniya train station which was around 8:12 am on Monday, October 10, 2022, and by 8:31 am the train stopped again. They were told that some steel part of the train track has being removed.
A passenger on the train, Yinka Seth tweeted details of the occurence.
We are less than 5 mins from the Moniya Train Station in Ibadan and the train has grinded to a halt. Judging by the time stamp of the videos I made, we’ve stopped for 10mins without an explanation. pic.twitter.com/zIoH8HelSq

At 8:29am, we spotted someone on holding a stick. Appeared to either be on a video call or making videos of the halted train. Passengers are tense and it is becoming harder to sit still. pic.twitter.com/qoCvUXpMEI
