FRSC CRACKDOWN ON OFFENDERS: DRIVER GETS ONE-MONTH JAIL TERM AS MARSHALS UNCOVER 15 PASSENGERS CONCEALED UNDER TRUCK TRAMPOLINE

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has reinforced its resolve to rid Nigerian roads of dangerous traffic practices as intelligence-driven operations and Mobile Court interventions in Abia State and the Federal Capital Territory have resulted in the prosecution of offenders and the recovery of a heavily overloaded vehicle conveying persons and motorcycles under highly hazardous conditions. The twin enforcement operations demonstrate the Corps’ increasing deployment of professional vigilance, intelligence and inter-agency collaboration to detect and decisively tackle practices capable of turning Nigerian roads into death traps.

In Abia State, a Mobile Court sitting presided over by His Worship, C. E. Nwankpa, sentenced Mr. Azubuike Dominic to one month imprisonment at Afara Correctional Centre after he was apprehended for driving a Toyota Hiace commercial vehicle, registration number GWB 298 XY, without a valid driver’s licence and subsequently absconded with an FRSC Arresting Marshal while being escorted to court. The driver was reapprehended several kilometres away following a coordinated pursuit involving FRSC personnel and the military. The development underscores the Corps’ determination that enforcement actions will not be frustrated by attempts to evade lawful arrest or judicial proceedings.

In another striking demonstration of intelligence-led enforcement in Nyanya, FCT, FRSC personnel intercepted a Mitsubishi Canter, registration number GDD 815 ZP, after professional suspicion prompted a closer inspection of its sealed trampoline. Beneath the covering, Marshals discovered 15 persons and eight motorcycles dangerously concealed among goods, in clear violation of road safety regulations and with grave implications for the safety of the occupants and other road users. The driver, Mr. Umar Muhammadu, who allegedly attempted to induce an FRSC Marshal with N500 and could not produce a valid driver’s licence, was arrested, while the vehicle and its occupants were handed over to the Divisional Police Officer, Mararaba, CSP M. Daniel, for further investigation and prosecution, following the directive of the Sector Commander, RS7.1 FCT, CC Tijjani Iliyasu.

The Corps views these incidents as compelling evidence that its enforcement architecture is moving beyond routine interception to intelligence led, evidence based and technology conscious road safety enforcement, where professional observation and adherence to Standard Operating Procedures are deployed to uncover concealed violations and protect lives. The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Shehu Mohammed, mni, has consistently charged personnel to remain vigilant, professional and uncompromising in the discharge of their statutory responsibilities, while strengthening collaboration with other security and law enforcement agencies.

FRSC therefore warns motorists, particularly commercial vehicle operators, that attempts to evade enforcement, conceal passengers or motorcycles, overload vehicles, drive without valid licences, offer inducements to personnel or otherwise compromise road safety will attract appropriate sanctions under the law. The Corps will continue to combine intelligence, professional enforcement, Mobile Courts and strategic inter-agency collaboration to protect road users and make Nigeria’s roads safer, stressing that on the road to a safer Nigeria, there will be no hiding place for reckless and dangerous driving.

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has deployed 2,500 personnel and 50 operational vehicles, including seven (7) heavy-duty tow trucks and six (6) ambulances, for the effective management of road traffic and emergency response during the 2026 Osun State Governorship Election scheduled for Saturday, 15 August 2026.

The massive deployment, covering the three Senatorial Districts and all operational areas of the State, is designed to ensure seamless traffic management, prompt emergency response, clearance of road obstructions and strict compliance with the Restriction/No-Movement Order during the election period.

The personnel deployment comprises 2,300 personnel from Osun Sector Command, complemented by 50 personnel each from Ondo, Ekiti, Oyo and Ogun Sector Commands. The Corps has equally positioned its operational and rescue assets at strategic locations to ensure that road users, election officials, accredited observers, security personnel and other members of the public experience a safe and orderly movement environment throughout the electoral process.

The Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, mni stated that the FRSC deployment reflects the Corps' commitment to supporting a peaceful, safe and credible electoral process within its statutory mandate of road safety and traffic management. According to him, the Corps will deploy its personnel with strict professionalism, neutrality, discipline and respect for human rights, while working in close synergy with the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security (ICCES) and other relevant agencies.

“Our mandate is clear: to ensure that the roads remain safe, orderly and accessible within the framework of the electoral security arrangements. We will be firm, professional and impartial in the discharge of our responsibilities,” the Corps Marshal said.

As part of the operational preparations, FRSC will conduct a Train-the-Trainer Workshop to strengthen the capacity of personnel participating in the election duties. The workshop will feature relevant stakeholders, including representatives of the Corps, the Nigeria Police Force, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
The Corps will also certify vehicles provided by fleet operators for the transportation of electoral materials to ensure that such vehicles meet prescribed minimum safety standards and are roadworthy before deployment.

To this end, the Corps Marshal, has reiterated that the Restriction/No-Movement Order will be strictly enforced within the designated areas during the election. Vehicles earmarked for enforcement of the restriction will commence deployment from 0600HRS on Saturday, 15 August 2026, with personnel positioned at strategic locations across the State. The Corps has consequently advised motorists, transport operators and other road users to plan their journeys ahead of the election, comply with all lawful traffic directives and avoid restricted routes during the period.

Beyond enforcement of the movement restriction, FRSC operatives will undertake intensive traffic control, crowd management, clearance of obstructions and rescue operations before, during and after the election.
The Corps will also deploy personnel to designated polling locations in synergy with the Nigeria Police and other security agencies, while maintaining strict adherence to its statutory responsibilities.

Personnel on election duty are required to remain alert, approachable and respectful of the dignity and rights of all citizens, irrespective of political affiliation, gender, religion, race or other considerations.
They are also required to comply with the prescribed oath of neutrality in accordance with the Electoral Act.
