FRSC to impound vehicles transporting human beings with animals
The Ogun Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says it will impound any vehicle found carrying human beings together with animals.
“Anybody caught will be punished and his vehicle impounded,” Anthony Uga, FRSC sector commander in Ogun, told journalists in Ota on Friday.
Mr Uga said the warning became necessary because drivers now transport human beings together with animals regardless of the obvious consequences.
The sector commander said the practice resulted in road accident fatalities.
He said the FRSC had met with animal dealers in the Kara area of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway to inform them of the dangers.
Mr Uga said the FRSC’s findings showed that most drivers violated the rule without knowing the owners of the animals they were transporting, adding that anybody caught would be penalised.
