The governor, who was accompanied by the Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, during the on-the-spot assessment of the scene, said that the accident happened on the day the Federal Government and the State government reached an agreement to close down the shopping complex’s gates at the railway line because of safety concern.

“This’s part of the concerns we’ve been raising about commuters’ safety on this axis. We need to act fast.
