A taxi dropped me off at the beautiful tarmac of the NRC in Ebutte-Metta, Lagos. I walked briskly into the station and down to the departure section. As envisaged, there was a long queue of passengers. I joined the queue, noticing that some people were trying to book seats online.Peter Afolayan, heading to Abeokuta, was one of such passengers.
He said officials had allowed some passengers to board the train and “those same people always cause problems for us. That is the reason why we are not allowing them”.But Mutiu Abioye, an official, suddenly showed interest in me, startling me out of my reverie.“How do we go about it? We have been given instructions,” he said.When I affirmed I was a solo traveller, he said, “Send me hi ” and then proceeded to call out his contact.
I also noticed that tickets were not confirmed by officials, which is not the usual practice. So, anyone without a ticket could not be identified.Olamilekan, who hurriedly got on the train at the station, said he did not have a ticket.
