Tragedy as an Abuja-bound train from Kaduna State crushed twin children, Hassana and Hussaina Barau to death.
The victims were expected to celebrate their two-year birthday in July this year.
The incident happened at Kuchiko village, a border community between Bwari Area Council of the FCT and Tafa Local Government Area of Niger State.
DETAILS OF THE INCIDENT
A community leader, Andrew Dogonyaro, said the incident happened around 10am on Saturday.
‘The twins used to visit their neighbours on their own. That’s how they got out of their home that day without anyone being aware,’ he explained, per Daily Trust.
‘A man sighted them from afar facing each other on the track and he attempted to take them off the track following horns from the train but it was late.’
