Fire Guts New Warri-Itakpe Train

One of the newly procured Warri-Itakpe standard gauge train coaches was on Tuesday evening gutted by fire.

 This is even as a video trending online showed Nigerian Railway Workers (NRC) battling the inferno with leaves, blankets and other objects due to the non-availability of fire extinguishers on board the train coaches.

 Speaking  early on Wednesday morning, a staff of the NRC said the cause of the fire is still unknown.

 “The cause of the fire is still unknown as we speak but it has finally been put out. It is one of the new trains that runs scheduled trips between Warri and Itakpe,” t
