The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Sector
Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps
(FRSC) has warned that any person caught
crossing the road without using pedestrian bridge
in the FCT will be arrested, prosecuted and
possibly jailed for three months.
Speaking at the 2015 Nigerian Breweries/
Federal Road Safety Corps; ‘Don’t Drink and
Drive’ road safety campaign held in Abuja
yesterday, the FCT corps commander, Sunday
Oghenekaro said sub-regulations (10) and (11) of
the National Road Traffic Regulation (NRTR)
2012 empowers the corps to arrest any defaulter
of the pedestrian bridge and such person is liable
on conviction to a fine of N2000.00 or to a term
of three months imprisonment or both.
The corps commander also noted that it is
unwise and unsafe to combine alcohol with
driving, warning against driving under influence
as it is unsafe, affects the vision, judgement,
reduces coordination and slows down reactions.
Ahead of the festive season and the travelling
that is involved, corps commander Oghenekaro
warned drivers against overloading, dangerous
overtaking, distracted driving (making or
receiving calls) and excessive speeding, as
anyone caught violating these rules will be
prosecuted accordingly.
While speaking on the repeated sponsoring of the
programme, the representative of the Nigerian
Breweries, Vivian Ikem noted that though the
firm produces alcoholic drinks, it values the lives
of its customers to that of the profits of the
shareholders.
