Nigerians travelling from Sokoto to Lagos tied to luggage in car boot over hike in transport fares

A photo shared online shows Nigerian travellers tied together with luggage in the trunk of a car. 

The travellers were reportedly going from Sokoto to Lagos but could not afford to pay transport fare for a seat in a car. 

Consequently, they chose to travel in the uncomfortable position in the boot of a car for the hours-long journey. 

 

Another traveller also shared photos of Nigerians in Niger state travelling at the back of a truck laden with goods.
