Only 38% of traffic offenders arrested in Osun educated: FRSC
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Osun apprehended 170 violators of various traffic rules and regulations in February.
The Osun sector commander of FRSC, Henry Benamesia, in a statement by the command’s spokesperson, Agnes Ogungbemi, said only 65 of the arrested 170 traffic rule violators were educated.
The figure represents 38.2 per cent of those arrested.
“There was no record of death in the month under review; this shows the level of commitment of our officers on highways.
”We were able to make the arrest of some persons charged with offences such as speeding, dangerous driving and wrongful overtaking, among others,” he said.
According to him, the command will continue sensitising road users on the dangers of reckless driving.
Mr Benamesia, however, called on stakeholders in the transport sector to support the corps in achieving zero accident records in the state at all times.
