The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) says it will address ticket racketeering at the Abuja-Kaduna Train Service (AKTS).
Yakub Mahmood, NRC spokesperson, gave the assurance in a statement on Saturday in Lagos.
“Information has reached the management of the NRC on difficulties of passengers in obtaining tickets online, resulting in ticket racketeering on the Abuja-Kaduna Train Service (AKTS) in recent times.
“In order to arrest the ugly situation, the management has set up a team headed by the deputy director of ICT to investigate.

“In the meantime, the managing director of NRC, Mr Freeborn Okhiria, has directed Mr Mohammed Modibo Ibrahim to report and take over as the manager of the AKTS with immediate effect,” he said.
He appealed to the general public, especially the passengers, to bear with NRC, saying the situation would soon be controlled.
“The managing director also directed the director of operation to increase train service frequencies on the route within the next two weeks,” he said.
