Although there were no confirmed fatalities as of press time, multiple vehicles were damaged and several persons narrowly escaped with their lives.

He said, “We are deeply saddened by this avoidable tragedy that could have claimed many lives. It is by divine mercy that we are not mourning today. I extend my heartfelt sympathy to those affected and urge all relevant authorities to treat this as a wake-up call.”

He condemned the lack of adequate warning systems and effective traffic control at the rail crossing.

The traditional ruler called on the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), the Rivers State government, and the Federal Ministry of Transportation to urgently improve safety measures along railway crossings across the state.

“This is not just a local issue. It is about the lives of Nigerians. We must act now to ensure rail crossings are equipped with functional barriers, warning signals, and emergency response protocols. What happened in Woji must never happen again,” he declared.

Eke further advised road users to remain vigilant and exercise patience when navigating through traffic-prone areas, especially near railway lines.
