The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Dr
Boboye Oyeyemi, has said that the organisation is set to clamp down on wanted
traffic offenders who have yet to effect payment of fines.
In a statement issued by the Corps Public Education Officer
(CPEO), Assistant Corps Marshal (ACM) Bisi Kazeem, Oyeyemi said that the corps
would go after wanted offenders as from Monday, Jan. 25.
The FRSC boss said that the offenders, who were already
declared wanted after exceeding the days of grace period from the dates of
arrests and issuance of Notice of Offence tickets, were now being looked for by
the corps operatives. He noted that offenders who voluntarily reported at any
of the FRSC offices nationwide and made payment would not be prosecuted.
“It follows that beginning from Monday, Jan 25, 2021 all
commands shall commence the arrest of the targeted offenders, which will
include home arrest where necessary, deploying the New Vehicle Identification
System (NVIS). Offenders with genuine handicaps will be handled with compassion
that the case deserves,” he said.
