NRC raises alarm of fake ticketing website

The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has alerted Lagos-Ibadan train passengers to the activities of cyber criminals who are selling train tickets in fictitious cyber space with the intention of scamming them.  

The corporation cautioned the unsuspecting passengers against falling for the fictitious claims that it was selling online tickets on that route. 

This disclosure is contained in a statement issued by the Managing Director of NRC, Mr Fidet Okhiria, on Saturday, August 6, 2023, in Lagos. 

Okhiria in the statement urged passengers to always obtain their train boarding tickets at the designated railway stations.  

Okhiria noted that the online sales of train ticket on the Lagos-Ibadan route is carried out by fraudsters as the NRC is yet to commence online sales of train tickets for that rioute.
