NRC Clears Air Over Report Of Alleged Train Coaches Theft In Maiduguri

The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has denied claims that its train coaches were stolen from Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.

Fidet Okhiria said there was no such thing as train coach theft.

Okhiria explained that the people moving the Coaches were doing so in an official capacity.

He added that the Coaches were being moved by officials of the NRC to the Corporation’s Running Shed in Jos, Plateau State, to be overhauled and put back into operation.

“The attention of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has been drawn to news trending on numerous social media platforms purported to have emanated from the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), which claimed that an attempt was made to steal NRC coaches from Maiduguri.

“The NRC management wishes to clarify this erroneous report by stating that the said Coaches are officially being moved to the NRC Running Shed in Jos, Plateau State, to be overhauled and put back into operation.

“NRC is trying to extend Rail Mass Transit nationwide.”
