Two separate accidents linked with the Ijoko-Lagos mass transit trains (MTT) service of Nigeria Raiway Corporation (NRC) have left a passenger dead and another badly injured. 
The accidents occurred on Monday morning when passengers rushed to board moving and overcrowded trains at the Agbado train station. One of the passengers was crushed by a moving train during the rush while the legs of another were broken.
Eyewitnesses disclosed that the victims slipped and fell off while trying to board the moving train.
Regular train passengers blamed the accidents on overcrowding and attitude of passengers who blocked the entrance of the coaches, preventing other passengers from getting onto the train.
An NRC official at the station disclosed that the incidents have been reported to the NRC headquarters at Ebute Meta for proper action.
Reports say the crushed body of the dead victim was pulled out from the wheels and placed beside the rail track, while the man with a broken leg was rushed to a nearby hospital.
Earlier, the railway police command had warned passengers against hanging on moving trains, saying that offenders would be charged with attempted suicide.
