One week after a passenger train crushed Mrs. Selimota Idowu, a principal accountant with the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) in Abuja to death, no government official visited the family to console them over the loss. The accident occurred at a railway crossing in Chikakore, Kubwa, a suburb of Abuja when Selimota’s car got stuck in the middle of the rail line, resulting in the train ramming into it.
