Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has made a clarification on the number of persons onboard the NRC AK9 Abuja-Kaduna train.<\/p>\n

The train was attacked the night of Monday, March 28 at a location between Katari and Rijana.<\/p>\n

A statement on Thursday by Engr. Fidet Okhiria, NRC MD said inaccurate numbers of passengers were circulating.<\/p>\n

Okhiria noted that the corporation had 8 personnel and some security operatives attached to the train.<\/p>\n

He said every passenger is recognized via electronic validators linked to the central system.<\/p>\n

\u201c398 passengers purchased tickets to travel on the NRC AK9 service, and 362 passengers actually boarded.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe entire seat capacity of the train in question is 840 passengers. Therefore, the figure of 970 being circulated cannot be correct.\u201d<\/p>\n

Okhiria explained that the AK9 service was the last out of Abuja that Monday and is usually at less than half capacity.<\/p>\n

Passengers on board, he added, have confirmed that the train was certainly not run at full capacity.<\/p>\n

The NRC said it is continuing efforts to reach out to passengers using the comprehensive manifest in order to obtain information about their present condition<\/p>\n

The statement prayed for the speedy recovery of the injured passengers and for families of the bereaved fortitude to bear the loss.<\/p>\n
