FRSC impounds 32 vehicles on Lagos-Ibadan expressway
The Ogun sector command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has impounded 32 vehicles for traffic offences during a special patrol on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The Ogun sector commander, Anthony Uga, told journalists on Monday in Ota that the exercise was to reduce road crashes along the corridor.
Mr Uga said a radar gun was used along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway to deter motorists from speeding.
“For the first time, we deployed radar guns to deter speed along the corridor and 32 motorists were apprehended and prosecuted at a mobile court at Ogunmakin Unit Command, Ogun,” he said.
The sector commander said they were arrested for offences such as overloading, speeding, and failure to install speed limit devices, among others.
He said the exercise, which commenced on May 22, would continue this week in various locations to minimise road crashes along the corridor.
Mr Uga also warned motorists against overloading to prevent avoidable crashes.
