A train travelling from Ibadan to Lagos ran out of fuel on Thursday while in transit, according to a Twitter user.
King Isaiah Obadare said passengers and crew were “stuck in the forest” before a drum of diesel arrived and the train was refueled.
When contacted bychannelstv.com, a Nigeria Railway Corporation spokesperson Mahmood Yakubu, said he does not comment on “anything online.”
He however stressed that a train expected from Ibadan had arrived in Lagos.
Diesel prices have skyrocketed in recent weeks across the country. (Channels TV)
