Cairo's central Sadat metro station came back into operation on Saturday, after it was closed last Tuesday, said the Egyptian Company For Metro Management & Operation.

Earlier, Transport Minister Hani Dahi said that the closure of Sadat metro station was due to maintenance works, adding that there was no relation between the closure of the station and the assassination of Prosecutor General Hesham Barakat.

But sources with the company said that the security bodies had called for closing the station for security reasons.
