The Federal Government is set to go hard on railway vandals as it has recommended charging the culprits for manslaughter.

The Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, who gave this recommendation during the weekly ministerial media briefing at the statehouse on Friday, argued that stricter enforcement of the law on vandalism would bring to a halt frequent theft of rail tracks and the consequent loss of lives.

Meanwhile, the transport minister further announced that Nigeria and China have signed a contract to locally manufacture train coaches in five years.

He said an agreement has also been signed for the Chinese to build a factory that would be commissioned by December 2021 as well as a university in Daura, Katsina state to help localize railway technology.

According to the minister, 300 Nigerians have currently been sponsored to understudy rail technology in China.

He further disclosed that the Kaduna – Kano railway is billed to be flagged off in two weeks while vowing that the Lekki Deep Seaport will be completed before the end of the current administration.

The Nigeria Police had last week, arraigned suspected railway vandals at the Federal High Court sitting in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital.

While 18 out of the 30 suspects appeared in court, Justice Nehizena Afolabi adjourned the trial to July 7 for hearing and ordered that all suspects appear on the next date.

The police charged the suspects for conspiracy, economic sabotage, and terrorism while the lawyer of the Chinese national is charged for aiding, facilitating, and abetment of terrorism for offering a bribe to the police to aid the escape of his client.
