“NRC is hereby advising Lagos to Ibadan train passengers to be wary of these fraudulent cyber space criminals, by obtaining their train boarding tickets at railway stations.”
He added that the NRC is working hard to introduce secure online ticketing on Lagos to Ibadan and Warri to Itakpe train services soon.
