Former federal lawmaker Senator Shehu Sani has lamented that the Kaduna-Abuja free train ride announced by President Bola Tinubu’s government has facilitated the movement of thugs.

 

Recall that on December 26, the Federal Government announced a free train ride for any Nigerian wishing to travel during the Christmas festivities.

 

The initiative, which received praise from citizens, has reportedly been hijacked in some quarters by thugs, according to Shehu Sani.

 

In a post on his official X microblogging platform on Friday, the former lawmaker expressed his concerns, lamenting that thugs have taken over the Kaduna-Abuja train station for aimless trips.

 

He wrote: “The FG Kaduna-Abuja free train ride is a good gesture that has not helped those travelling for Christmas but provided an opportunity for thugs to take over the station and the train seats, just travelling to and from Abuja without purpose.”
