A Lagos-Ibadan train, on Thursday, stopped abruptly after “running out of diesel”.
According to a Twitter user, King Isaiah Obadore, who was
reportedly on the train, the crew members said the train stopped moving because
it had exhausted diesel.
“Boarded Train from Ibadan to Lagos. We’re still stuck in
the forest with unknown Chinese Men,” Obadore said.
“They said fuel finished. What a beautiful country,
Nigeria.”

In a trending video, another passenger was seen commenting
about the situation while some passengers were seen hanging around the train.
When contacted, Mahmood Yakubu, spokesperson of the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC), said he was not aware of the situation.
“I don’t know. I am not aware of it. I’ll find it about it
and feed you back,” Yakubu told TheCable on the phone.
On Tuesday, the price of automotive gas oil, also known as
diesel, had hit N625 per litre in some fuel stations.
The ex-depot price crossed
N500/litre, causing fuel stations to adjust their pump prices to current
realities.
The development is due to scarcity of fuel amid supply
disruptions occasioned by the Russia-Ukraine war.
