Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission have arrested eight suspected train ticket racketeers in Abuja and Kaduna.

The agency said Clement Zakka, Udim Samson, Adams Danladi, Otitomoni Omobolanle and Hassan Dauda were nabbed at the Kubwa train terminal, Abuja, on Saturday while three others including a Nigeria Railway Corporation worker and two touts were apprehended at the Rigasa station in Kaduna on Sunday.



They were were said to have sold the train tickets for between N2,500 and N15,000.

The EFCC spokesman, Tony Orilade, said in a statement on Monday, that the suspects sold the N1,300 economy ticket for between N2,000 and N5,000 while first class ticket was sold for between N7,000 to N15,000 up from the official N2,500.


It said, “The Commission swung into action after receiving an intelligence report alleging that some group of people at the Idu and Kubwa train stations have been racketeering train tickets making it difficult for passengers to have access to tickets and further sabotaging government efforts in ensuring easy transportation across the country.

“The suspects were arrested during a sting operation at the stations; They will soon be charged to court.”

The anti-graft agency said its investigations revealed that some members of staff of the stations connived with touts to defraud unsuspecting travellers by selling the tickets at a higher rate.

It explained that the Station Manager, Chief Marketing Officer and Chief Parcel Booking Officer of the Kaduna Railway Station have also been invited for questioning.

Our correspondent had on Sunday reported the ticket racketeering at the Kubwa train station and complaints by passengers about the disorganized ticket system designed to exploit customers.

Awon stupid!

please ask EFCC if tinubu is still enjoying immunity.... you found it so easy to arrest common man and yet very hard for you to arrest and prosecute tinubu

Waiting for the time their godfather in govt will be nabbed and all of them be prosecuted together without given undue preference to cover anyone up. Na Naija we dey sha. This news fit disappear anytime.

Please can someone help me tweet this to the official EFCC page

I was about to ram EFCC for ignoring this ongoing racket, so I must commend them for being proactive. There are some people that will exploit loopholes so long as they exist. Move this ticketing online or use a vending application to remove or minimize human interaction. Some human beings are just despicable and will cheat even their future selves for instant gain.

Oga, read the story very well, a government worker is involved, in Nigeria do as I do is the policy in civil service, as their boss is doing , the junior officers take after them, the effect spills on the public. Few years ago In Lagos, I supplied computer printer ink to a government agency, there was an outstanding supply that I was yet to make, but was paid for, the man told me enough of the supply go with that...I was like government money is sweet to lavish ..... Origin of corruption in Nigeria is the government.
Do as I do country.

MaiGemu:
I taya

Primitive train..... Is this one train... Putting Nigeria lives at risk is what Nigeria government knows how to do best..this God forsaken train should be banned.

A system that Govt is still trying to resuscitate ,they want to kill it fast ..send them to jail as a deterrent

If online, same Nigerians will hack the system.

Remain BLESSED always and forever.
this is what I keep saying every now and then but most would talk it down saying the only problem Nigeria has is it government making it look like government is an alien forgetting they are an integral part of the social system.

moscobabs:
There is corruption in NRC come Ijoko and see ticketers sitting down doing nothing while only one of them is selling ticket to thousand of passengers in the hope that wen train take off people will quickly run into the coaches without ticket and the checkers will collect Money inside the coaches without ticket and they will share the money at the end of the day

Can't the stations be well built with lobby for ticket selling. The lobby will have Cubicles

Uncleodi:
For the very first time in history, they were at the right place at the right time.



Just like someone commented above, Nigeria immigration service should be paid a surprised visit on a very sunny and crowdy day. You will be shocked to note that those people make close to 7 million naira monthly by shortchanging innocent citizens.



Revamping Nigeria is all it will take for us to achieve greatness.



Meanwhile, Nigerian police force will need this kind of close marking. In as much as the new IG should be seen to be doing something, most people perceive him as the "quiet type" who won't hurt a fly.


It may interest you to note that India which isn't a first world country has gone as far as developing an app on play store / iOS to ease rail transport. Why can't we learn from them?? There are a couple of IT gurus on this platform Nairaland who government can hire for such services.


May God help us.

Aboki will now buy tickets online
You are funny..

kaen1317:
Is it that one that you see? What of Tinubu's trillion naira bullion van?

You're very very mad..... I swear. Nothing this govt does can please you.

kaen1317:

Talk sense for once when there is need for sense to be talked

Corruption everywhere
When will EFCC go and Arrest the Nig Immigration
This EFCC are fighting a sided fight.... Running after individuals when the big thieves are in govt agencies

I thought Amaechi warned these ticket racketeering criminals just last month that he'll soon deal with them?maybe they thought he was joking.

EFCC should also visit FRSC, Drivers Licence dept.

Nigerians,

We must spoil any better thing.

They should be convicted & jailed even
if na 3months to serve as examples.

But the passengers rushing the trains,
why are they trying to deny Fulani their
income?
