The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has expressed serious concern over a fresh act of vandalism along the Lagos-Ibadan Standard Gauge railway corridor, specifically between Agege and Agbado stations.
In a statement signed by NRC’s Chief Public Relations Officer, Callistus Unyimadu, the corporation revealed that unknown individuals tampered with critical signaling equipment, including signal machine cap protectors and connection cables on Switch Point Machine No. 2. The damage was discovered during a routine inspection on Monday, October 6, 2025.
The NRC described the act as sabotage against national infrastructure, warning that such incidents endanger both passengers and railway personnel and can disrupt the smooth operation of train services. Despite the damage, the corporation reassured the public that train movement along the Lagos-Ibadan corridor continues uninterrupted.
Security agencies have been notified and investigations are ongoing to identify and apprehend those responsible.
The NRC emphasized its commitment to maintaining safe and reliable rail services across the country and urged the public, particularly those living near railway lines, to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities around railway facilities.
