The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has
revealed that its patrol team had apprehended and impounded a vehicle along
Badagry Seme Border for Seatbelt Violation and Driver License Violation, only
to discover that the said vehicle was conveying a large quantity of
Indian Hemp into Nigeria.
According to Bisi Kazeem, Head, Media Relations
and Strategy, FRSC, the team of Badagry Unit Command of FRSC on patrol
operations along the route intercepted the vehicle with vehicle number,
EPE 237 XC at 0845hrs and had already established the two offences before
making the discovery with the collaborative effort of the Nigerian Customs who
were equally on the same route with their patrol team.
The Vehicle is presently with the Comptroller
Custom Seme for further investigations before it would be handed over to the
appropriate drug law authority for contravening the law against drug peddling.

Kazeem stated that it is in view of this great mark of achievement which is
targeted at keeping the society sane as a security outfit that the FRSC Corps
Marshal, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi, continues to call for a stronger collaboration
with sister agencies.
Recall that not long ago, the Corps had
intercepted a vehicle convening children (minors) through Kaduna with some
suspected child traffickers who were consequently handed over to the relevant
authorities. And in the same Kaduna, the FRSC rescue team had equally recovered
five locally made AK 47 rifles from a man whose vehicle was involved in a
crash.
Against this backdrop, Kazeem stated that the
Corps Marshal is pleased to see that the officers and men of the Corps have so
far been demonstrating the willingness to make the rules of engagement with
sister agencies viable and more diligent in their duties combined with
maintenance of security and safety as it relates to the motoring public.
