FRSC warns Muslim drivers against speeding, reckless driving
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has advised Muslim motorists to limit their speed and attempt to set out for their journey as early as possible.
Olayinka Akande, the deputy corps commander (Ota area command of the FRSC), gave the advice in an interview on Wednesday in Ota, Ogun.
Mr Akande implored persons travelling for the Eld-el-Fitri celebration to endeavour to set out for their journeys as early as possible to avoid speeding to get to their destinations.
“We are appealing to them to desist from night travels and ensure that their vehicles are in good condition before embarking on any trip. In addition, they should stay away from drugs or alcohol while driving and change all worn-out or expired tyres to prevent avoidable crashes,” he said.
Mr Akande enjoined the motoring public to adhere strictly to traffic rules and regulations, avoid overspeed and dangerous driving, avoid mishaps during the celebrations.
He said the FRSC had been deployed across the state to control traffic, respond to cases of emergency and check excesses of drivers to make the Eid-el-Fitr a hitch-free festival.
