Thousands of passengers escaped death this evening as a train loaded with over 2,000 people derailed at Oshodi bus stop.
The incident which took place close to the pedestrian bridge caused a
lot of panic with passers-by running for their lives during the
commotion that took place.
Our correspondent who arrived the scene shortly after the incident, reported that thousands of stranded passengers lined the side of track, as each person narrates the ordeal they went through.
A passenger who was inside the coach that derailed identified himself as Francis to our correspondence. He narrated his experience stating that "I heard a loud sound and thought I was going to die. I thank God the train did not over turn."
He said, "passengers who were seated on top of the train quickly jumped. I thank God the train wasn't on top speed, my story would have been different my brother."
No lives was lost in the ugly incident and work to evacuate the derailed coach had already began when our correspondent visited the scene.
