Lagos – The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), Lagos District, says it will soon prosecute 36 illegal passengers arrested for allegedly sitting on moving trains.

The corporation’s District Superintendent, Mr Samuel Elumole told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday that the suspects were arrested during the week on the Ikeja-Agege route.

26 people were arrested last week for the same offence while 20 of them were charged to court for attempted suicide.

They were jailed three months each with a N50, 000 option of fine.

Elumole said:“Thirty-six people were arrested during the week for sitting on the train and for failing to obtain tickets for their trips.

“The corporation is tired of the nuisance caused by people who sit on top of the train and that is why we are raiding them every week to put a stop to it.

He commended railway police and the Man o’ War for their collaborative efforts in apprehending the illegal passengers. (NAN)
