The Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem, in a statement on Saturday, said the Corps Marshal, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi, has directed Commanding Officers to double their efforts by ensuring massive deployment of officers and men for enhanced visibility, adequate traffic control, and enforcement of COVID-19 protocols.
The statement titled, ‘Valentine Day celebrations: FRSC cautions motorists against excessive speed, drunk-driving and recklessness on the road,’ noted that patrol operatives had been directed to use breathalysers, and radar guns to ensure that suspected drunk drivers are tested and stopped from continuing their trips to avoid unnecessary deaths, injuries and damage to properties.
