Sequel to reports of untold deaths of personnel of the traffic regulatory agency from the birrare act, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has warned its operatives against risking their lives by jumping on the road to stop moving vehicles when performing their statutory responsibilities.

Mr. Sikiru Alonge, Commander, Ore Unit Command of FRSC, who disclosed this development Wednesday, January 19, 2022, at Ore, in Ondo State, said several officers of the agency had been killed in the process.

Alonge charged operatives of the Corps to always imbibe professionalism and safety in the discharge of their duty, adding that the corps high command did not train them to enforce the law forcefully on erring motorists, reports NAN.

Most drivers plying the Benin-Ore Expressway regularly flout traffic rules and always want to escape arrest by not stopping for FRSC operatives for routine checks, he stated.

The FRSC Unit Commander also said: 鈥淚n a situation like this, an operative must not use his/her body to wedge speeding vehicles but rather use their phones or jotters to snap or write down the erring motorists鈥� number plates for proper arrest later.

鈥淥peratives must always ensure safety at all times in order not to record casualties and loss of lives occasioned by accidents.鈥�

He, however, warned motorists plying the Ore-Benin Expressway to always obey all traffic rules and regulations as the law would catch up with any erring motorists no matter how long.
