EFCC Arrests Train Ticket Racketeers in Abuja, Kaduna
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested several individuals involved in a train ticket racketeering scheme in Abuja and Kaduna.
According to a statement released by the EFCC, the suspects were arrested following a tip-off that they were involved in the illegal sale of train tickets, causing financial losses to the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC).
The suspects, who are alleged to be members of a syndicate, were arrested at the Abuja and Kaduna railway stations, where they were found to be in possession of large quantities of train tickets.
The EFCC said that the suspects had been operating the racket for several months, selling train tickets at exorbitant prices to unsuspecting passengers.
The commission also alleged that the suspects had been using fake identities and documents to obtain the train tickets, which they then sold to passengers at inflated prices.
The arrested suspects include:
- [Name], a 35-year-old man from Kaduna, who is alleged to be the leader of the syndicate.
- [Name], a 28-year-old woman from Abuja, who is alleged to have been involved in the sale of train tickets.
- [Name], a 40-year-old man from Kaduna, who is alleged to have been involved in the production of fake train tickets.
The EFCC said that the suspects would be charged to court for their alleged involvement in the racketeering scheme.
The commission also warned the public to be cautious when purchasing train tickets, and to ensure that they are buying from authorized ticketing agents.
The EFCC is committed to combating corruption and financial crimes in Nigeria, and will continue to work to protect the public from fraudulent activities.
