SECURITY ALERT WITH JIDE

FRSC boss arrests traffic offender.

The Corps Marshal and Chief Executive of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Osita Chidoka, has arrested  a traffic offender, Amehson Suleiman, who was subsequently sentenced to five days imprisonment.
The defaulter with a grey colour Toyota Corolla saloon car with registration number FA 288LND drove in a reckless manner at the NICON junction in the Federal Capital Territory, thus exposing himself and other road users to traffic hazard.
The offender was arraigned before a Special Traffic Offences Court presided over by Mr. Emmanuel Uyanna and was sentenced to five days imprisonment or an option of fine of N53,000.00. He paid the fine and was released.
The Corps Marshal reiterated FRSC’s commitment towards enthroning safer road culture in Nigeria through strict enforcement of traffic rules and regulations.
He urged Nigerians to support yesterday’s approval by the Federal Executive Council for the infusion of road safety education into school curricular and specific standard for school buses.
Chidoka said the approval would initiate a process for improved compliance with road traffic rules and behavioural change among road users.
