Many passengers on board a Warri- Itakpe train route are stranded somewhere in Kogi forest.
The development comes just few weeks after gunmen abducted 20 passengers waiting to board a train in Igueben , Edo State to Warri , Delta state.
The same train plying the Warri-Itakpe route is believed to have derailed, forcing many of the passengers to be stranded.
The train was said to have taken off at Warri early on Sunday morning with full speed but got derailed at about 12:noon inside the thick forest between Ajaokuta and Itakpe.
It was learnt that suspected terrorists may have destroyed some of the tracks so that the train would get stuck in the thick forest to make it easy for them to take the passengers hostage
Current Matters gathered that the passengers guided by fear of being abducted have abandoned the train but remained stranded in the forest.
