Soldiers were deployed on Tuesday after a passenger train traveling from Abuja to Kaduna derailed, sending several coaches off the tracks and triggering panic among commuters.

The incident occurred at Asham, a few minutes after the train departed Abuja at 9:45 a.m. Eyewitnesses said the derailment caused chaos as terrified passengers rushed out of the coaches, scrambling for safety.
