FRSC Arraigns 113 Kwara Motorists

The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) in Kwara State said it arraigned 113 motorists in Mobile Courts for various traffic offences during the last Yuletide.

The Sector Commander, Mrs Mary Wakawa, made the disclosure in an interview with the newsmen in Ilorin last Monday.

Wakawa said the Mobile Courts were located in IIorin, Omuaran and Offa.

She said 40 motorists were arraigned at a Mobile Court in both Ilorin and Omuaran, while 33 were arraigned in Offa during the period.

The commander said 113 traffic offenders, including women and teenage drivers, were asked to pay fines ranging from N2,500 to N6,000 depending on the nature of their offences.

She said those who could not afford the fines were remanded in prison and advised motorists to exercise caution, patience and drive with care.

The commander listed some of the offences committed as overspeeding, no vehicle particulars, non-possession of driving licence and overloading, among others.

She advised motorists to always obey traffic laws and avoid dangerous driving, particularly, wrongful overtaking to avert crash.
