The Federal Road Safety Commission has warned commercial drivers against taking narcotic drugs to enhance their performance.
Its Unit Commander in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, Yakubu Anto said the command had observed that most commercial drivers hardly rested well during the last four months of the year.
Anto said such drivers often over-worked themselves under the influence of narcotics so as to make greater profit, a situation he described as very dangerous.
He said the commission would intensify its patrol on major highways and warned that any driver caught driving recklessly would be prosecuted appropriately.
The Commander urged motorists plying major highways across the state to be watchful as vehicular traffic had started to increase at this period.
