The Nigerian Railway Corporation, NRC, has condoled with the family of the deceased police officer attached to Abuja-Kaduna train that died while on board.
NRC assured the public that the agency has medical personnel available on all trains to provide immediate assistance in case of emergency while on board.
Last week, a police officer attached to the Abuja-Kaduna train suffered sudden medical emergency and passed away.
The NRC management in a statement in Abuja, emphasized its commitment to the safety and comfort of all passengers.
The statement noted that the NRC managementโs attention had been drawn to publications on various social and mainstream media concerning the non-availability of medical personnel on passenger trains, which allegedly led to the Police officerโs death onboard the AbujaโKaduna passenger train.
โFor the avoidance of doubt, the medical personnel on duty was Mariam Abdulai who was assisted by a good Samaritan medical practitioner that happens to be our passenger on board to revive the ailing cop but was in futility,โ the statement said.
The management of the NRC, therefore, expressed the agencyโs heartfelt condolence to the bereaved family of the late Police Inspector, Nambut Selbol.
