The attention of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has been drawn to a video currently circulating on social media, particularly Facebook, purporting to show one of our train coach on fire.
We wish to categorically clarify that the incident in question occurred over three years ago along the Warri–Itakpe rail corridor.
The video is not recent and does not reflect the current state of operations or safety on any of our train services.
We urge the general public to desist from sharing outdated or misleading content, as such actions only serve to incite unnecessary fear, panic, and misinformation.
The circulation of false or outdated information undermines public trust and national development and should be strongly discouraged.
The NRC remains steadfast in its commitment to safety, comfort, and improved service delivery for all Nigerians.
We continue to enhance our operations in line with international best practices and global safety standards.
We appreciate the support and cooperation of the public and urge everyone to verify information from official NRC channels before dissemination.
