The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has suspended the Warri-Itakpe for 72hrs over technical issues.

The NRC in a statement indicated that the Warri-Itakpe train service had multiple hitches involving a train engine failure as well.

“The disruption commenced at approximately 1:38 PM and affected both the 8:00 AM departure from Warri and the 2:00 PM train from Itakpe. Emergency recovery protocols were immediately activated but also suffered a setback due to engine failures” it said.

*Following the incident, NRC swiftly arranged for the safe evacuation of all passengers via road transport with adequate security presence. Passengers were guided off the affected train to waiting cars approximately 500 meters from the track. Some Passengers chose to arrange their own transportation before the arrival of official recovery vehicles—a decision NRC understands given the delay” the statement indicated.

“Temporary Suspension of Service
In view of the situation, the NRC has suspended operations on the Warri-Itakpe route for 72 hours. This pause will allow our technical team to conduct a full audit, resolve all identified issues, and restore safe and reliable service” the statement said.

On ticket refund and revalidation the NRC explained that “all passengers with tickets for the affected services are eligible for a full refund or revalidation for future travel, based on their preference.”
