FRSC Warns Motorists Against Assault On Officials

The Rivers State Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Dr. Kayode Olagunju has warned motorists and other road users to desist   forthwith from assaulting corps  officers on duty.
Dr. Olagunju, in a statement  by the Assistant Route  Commander,  Sector Public Education Officer of the Command, Mrs. Victoria  Okoro said  such lawless people should have a rethink or have themselves to blame.
According to the statement , the sector  commander, was  reacting to a recent  killing of one of their  marshals, Mr. Clifford Azubuike by a bus driver, Mr. Emeka Mbachu at the First Artillery  Junction, along Port Harcourt –Aba expressway while on patrol duty.
He said that FRSC took a legal means to bring the culprit  to book, and was recently sentenced to death by an Appeal Court sitting  in Port Harcourt.
Dr. Olagunju, who lauded  the decision of the Appellate  court  said no matter how long the case had been, Justice had finally  prevailed.
The sector commander noted that  some drivers were recently sent to prisons by mobile  courts in the state for engaging in violent conduct against corps patrol men.
“The FRSC will continue to protect  its men and resources in our task to evolve  better and safer  motoring  environment in Nigeria”, the sector commander.
