The Federal Road Safety Corps on Saturday cautioned its officers
against chasing erring motorists no matter the traffic offence
committed.
The FRSC Corps Public Education Officer, Mr Bisi Kazeem, gave
the warning in a telephone interview with the News Agency of
Nigeria in Lagos.
He was reacting to media reports of an accident on Friday in
Ibadan following a chase by FRSC officers.
Kazeem told NAN that the Corps Marshal of the FRSC, Mr Boboye
Oyeyemi, frowned at the incident.
“The Corps Marshal, Mr Boboye Oyeyemi, condemned the act as it
is our rule that officers should not chase any erring motorist.
“Rather the vehicle number should be taken and the offender will
in no time be arrested through our drivers’ licence portal.
“As a paramilitary agency, investigation must be carried out and
if the officers are found guilty, they will be dealt with
accordingly,” Kazeem said.
