The Federal Road Safety Corps
(FRSC) has urged road users to use its toll-free 122 line to report
emergencies.
FRSC also has a 12-digit
emergency line – 0700 2255 3772.
Zonal Commander of FRSC, Mr
Samuel Obayemi, who is in-charge of Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo States, noted
that the toll-free line should be used to get to FRSC National Operations
Control Centre Abuja, where assistance can be received for any issue on the roads
in the country.
He said that the line, also known
as FRSC code number, was the surest and quickest means to get the attention of
the corps even when its patrol teams and unit command situated on the roads
were not easily visible.
“The toll-free 122 line is an
express dial emergency number to get the FRSC National Operations Control
Centre, Abuja for compliant on any development or issues on the road.
“You can dial and report any
accident involving vehicles or other objects on the road.
“You can report on activities of
road users especially drivers, who drive recklessly at the detriment of lives
of other road users, so that the control centre can get to the nearest FRSC
patrol team on the same road to stop the reckless driver.
“Even, you can use it to report
any of our staff, who is deviating from his duty or becoming unprofessional in
the discharge of his or her duty on the road,” he told NAN.
The zonal commander also said
that the control centre also received criminal and hoodlums threats on the
road, related to the nearest unit or sector command to get the attention of the
law enforcement agencies.
“The FRSC National Operations
Control Centre, Abuja has been instrumental to the smashing of activities of
criminals on our roads through road users report to the centre via 122.
“Since, we have effective
collaboration with the police, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps
(NSCDC), and the military, they usually respond to the intelligence on crime
the centre gives to the nearest unit and sector command.
“I must laud other sister
security agencies, the Nigerian Army, Nigeria Air-Force, the National Emergency
Management Agency (NEMA) and the motoring public for their support to our
special operation,” he said.
