The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Akwa Ibom Sector Command has warned motorists against the violation of critical road traffic offences that put the life of other road users in grave danger.

The Sector Commander, Mr Francis Ajatta, gave the warning in a statement in Uyo on Monday.

He said that the command had embarked on a regular special patrol operation to arrest and prosecute offenders in court.

“The special operation is a measure to ensure the safety of road users, especially in this raining season and to further deter intending offenders against any act of recklessness behind the wheels.

“Some of these offences include driving against traffic (one-way drive), overloading, driving without wipper and with broken wind shield as well as operating a vehicle without valid documents,” Ajatta said.

The sector commander urged the general public to remain active and avoid unsafe acts capable of jeopardising the safety of oneself and other road users.

“The general public is also advised to leverage on the FRSC Mobile Application or the Toll-free Line –122 to promptly report any road crash and other emergencies,” he said. (NAN)
