Railway corporation warns Abuja-Kaduna passengers against buying tickets online

Nigerians across the country have been warned against purchase of Abuja to Kaduna train tickets online.

Daily Trust reports that the warning was given by the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) to its customers.

It was gathered that the NRC in statement sent by the manager of Abuja-Kaduna train services, Paschal Nnorli, said any online ticket sales outlet is fraudulent and it’s not from the corporation.

Nnorli also warned that there an online message requesting prospective passengers on Abuja - Kaduna train route to buy or reserve tickets online by visiting a certain website.

According to him, the NRC train tickets can only be obtained from designated railway stations.

He said: “The general public especially our esteem passengers on Abuja – Kaduna Train Service (AKTS) are please advised not to patronise any of such calls as they did not emanate from NRC.

“For clarity sake, NRC train tickets, for now, are obtainable in hard copy only from designated railway stations. Prospective passengers are therefore advised to buy their tickets only from NRC designated ticket offices and not through any other means,” Nnorli said.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the Kaduna-Abuja train shuttle service has suspended its operations due to the reinstatement of a 24-hour curfew by the Kaduna state government.

The train service has been a viable alternative for passengers as the Kaduna-Abuja expressway has been a den of kidnappers and armed robbers in recent times.

Passengers shuttling between Kaduna and Abuja have been using the train service despite a few hitches recorded like timing, ticket racketeering, slow movement and sometimes a halt in the operations.
