The motoring public has been warned by the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, to desist from assaulting its operatives in the course of discharging their duties.
Mr Anthony Uga, who is the Sector Commander in Ogun, gave the warning in an interview in Sango-Ota on Monday.
He stated that the warning was necessary as they had zero tolerance for assaulting its personnel.
In his words “Any motorist who decides to assault FRSC personnel will be apprehended and handed over to the police and the person will be charged to court accordingly for assaulting uniformed personnel.
“However, whenever it happens, the perpetrator would definitely face the wrath of the law.”
Uga also said it was an offence for an FRSC operative to assault any motoring public, and anyone engaged in such an act would be charged with an offence against members of the public.
The sector commander noted that the FRSC was not a conquering force but operatives to maintain sanity on the highways.
