Women Join Men To Sit On Train Roofs As Fuel Scarcity Worsens In Lagos

Women yesterday in Lagos threw caution to the wind when some of them took to train roofs when they were no longer available seats in the trains.

Among the women who did this were working class ladies who had to meet up with resumption time at work and market women who were desperate to get to their shops early enough since they were little buses available and the fees were too high.

The Nigerian Railway Corporation’s Taskforce who arrests passengers for sitting on top of train roofs, were stunned when they found women among such passengers. They said they couldn’t take any action because the situation was beyond them.
