New NRC Law: Hang On Train, Face Suicide Trial by supereagle(m): 12:04am On Aug 20, 2012 |
Illegal passengers caught hanging or sitting on train coach risk trial for attempted suicide and imprisonment, the Nigeria Railway Corporation has said. The Assistant Director, Public Relations, NRC, Mr. David Ndakotsu, who disclosed this, said the corporation was collaborating with law enforcement agencies to arrest and prosecute defaulters. He said that their officials would be deployed in all rail stations especially along the Lagos-Ogun axis where the disorder was rampant, to ensure enforcement. “There are measures put in place. There is a five-year-old law that prohibits anybody from hanging and standing on train coaches; it allows their arrest and prosecution. About 23 of those arrested are being tried for attempted suicide because what they did was suicidal. “Passengers must obtain their tickets to allow them sit in the cabins; that is only when insurance can cover them. However, it is unfortunate that these lawbreakers usually join a moving train just after it departs a station.” he said. Currently, 23 of of such illegal passengers are standing trial. http://www.channelstv.com/home/2012/08/19/new-nrc-law-hang-on-train-face-suicide-trial/
