A middle aged man, who is yet to be identified, was on Monday Dec. 3rd
run over by a train at the Phikwore Area of Kubwa, a suburb of the
Federal Capital Territory (FCT). According to reports, the victim, who
left a suicide note, was earlier sighted lying down on the rail track
waiting for the train shortly before it killed him. The incident
happened at about 12:45 p.m., a few kilometre away from the Kubwa
Railway Station. The victim left behind a suicide note in a bag
containing some clothes by the side of the railway track. Some of the
eyewitnesses who spoke with NAN said that the note contained a short
message, supposedly to his wife and kid, which reads: “Please forgive me
for I do not have funds to take care of you”. The spokesman to
Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), Niyi Ali, confirmed the incident
saying that an investigation had begun into the incident to unravel the
real motive behind the act. “We will like to find out what will warrant
a young man to lay in wait on a train track to take his life".Train runs over a middle aged man in Abuja and a suicide note was found on him
