Nigeria Railway Corporation daily runs between Lagos and Ibadan was disrupted Monday after vandals removed some of the tracks.
NRC regional manager South West, Augustine Arisa disclosed that the train had to stop as the clips had been removed from the tracks.
“Monday’s Ibadan to Lagos train stopped at different places along the rail tracks due to the removal of some of the clips on the track,” he told Tribune-Online
“There were some places where it was noticed that the track had been tampered with. Some of the Fastener Clips had been removed from the tracks, so the train kept stopping to check if the removed clips were many or not.
“If the removed clips were many, the train will have to reverse onto another track to continue the journey. So, it was because the clips were not many, that was why the train continued on that track.”
Recall that earlier on Monday, some passengers onboard the Ibadan to Lagos train had taken to social media to complain of the train making unexpected stops at unexpected locations along the Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge rail.
