The incident comes after Minister of Railways Development John Peter Amewu announced the successful assembly and installation of the first unit of modern trains procured by the government onto the railway track.

John Peter Amewu earlier revealed that the initial units, comprising 12 modern passenger coaches, will undergo testing on the Tema-Mpakadan railway line.
