Many unspecified number of passengers have been dead when a train in motion crushed a Dangote cement truck and a commercial tricycle in Kano State.
The incident occurred on Obasanjo Road in Kano metropolis at about 11:30 am on Sunday.
An eyewitness, who is a trader beside the rail track, said he noticed the truck moving towards the rail line, as the train was in motion.
