11 January
One person died in a train derailment in the early hours of Thursday in Lagos, Nigeria's economic hub, the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) said.
The victim died at the hospital while receiving treatment, Jerry Ochi, the Lagos Railway district manager, told reporters.
The NRC officials have been working to re-rail the train and repair the track, Ochi said.
A coach fell off the rail track, according to the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, blaming the incident on faulty tracks. The incident left some of the passengers injured.
Last July, a train rammed into a passenger bus in another part of Lagos, killing at least nine people.
