There was chaos on Friday in Minna, Niger State, when angry commercial motorcyclists, popularly known as okada riders, burnt down the office of the Federal Road Safety Corps .

The okada riders were angry over the death of one of their colleagues allegedly caused by some FRSC officials.

It was learnt that the late motorcyclist rode against traffic along the GRA in the state and in a bid to arrest him, the FRSC officials on patrol opened their vehicle door to block his motorcycle.

Eyewitnesses said the rider crashed the motorcycle in the process and hit his head on the pavement, leading to a serious injury. He was said to have been rushed to a hospital where he died.

Eyewitnesses claimed that the accident resulted in the death of two people; the rider and his passenger.

Some of the FRSC officials were said to have fled when the motorcyclists mobilised themselves but they beat others who waited. The protesters later set fire to office of the corps.

Nothing could be rescued from the burnt building as official documents, valuables of officers and an ambulance at the unit were affected by the fire.

The office of the National Orientation Agency located to the FRSC office was also burnt.

The Public Education Officer of the Unit, Deputy Route Commander, Olugbemiga Bello, who described the incident as unfortunate, stated that the FRSC men on patrol did not cause the accident.

“The motorcyclist did not die but was injured. The accident was caused by the injured motorcyclist due to recklessness,” Bello added.

Meanwhile, Chairman, Amalgamated Commercial Motorcycle Owners and Riders Association of Nigeria in the area, Umar Amah, denied the involvement of members of the association in the incident.

He said, “None of our members was around when the building was touched. I personally led away members who besieged the office before the incident occurred.”

The Niger State FRSC Sector Commander, Joel Dagwa, did not pick calls made to his mobile at the time of filing this report.

God have mercy on us

Two wrongs cannot make a right. Why burn down the entire FRSC office and adjacent offices?
The office was built by tax payers money and more money will be looted and siphoned in the process of erecting or renovating another building.

Like president like uniform men. Every one is acting animalistically and above the law. No respect for orders anymore. The country is disorganized and haphazard.

RIP to the dead.

Which way Nigeria Who do we now believe Two wrongs can never make a right! N.E.V.E.R

Awesome
Wouldst thou have that
Which thou esteem'st the ornament of life,
And live a coward in thy own esteem;
Letting "I dare not" wait upon "I would,"
Like the poor cat i' the adage.

In certain extreme situations the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue natural justice.

That's why security men, even SARS cannot have a field day brutalising people just anyhow down North

But well to me and my Household North is the best place to live cuz our security is really not in the hands of the Police but our unity and the safety in our Number

Amen, only God can save us

Damrah:
God have mercy on us

Ghenghen

Despite how blessed Nigeria is, we still live in deep poverty. Too bad.

No one is happy in this country.

so sad

That's their style

I wonder when this "growth" will be achieved in our "Sh*t-hole" country.


Maybe this country should be sold to China to be used as poultry...

Even though the FRSC guys has their fault but touching of Government property is equally wrong and should be condemned.
we sell Smart TVs and sound bar

so sad jungle judgments is not the best option

You'll see very soon

ok

zoooooo country

just look at the rubbish we are reading.

a WELL TRAINED road safety officer opened his door to use it and block a bike rider carrying a passenger. no regard for life or property.

Kogi and Niger are the middle belt areas that have finally fallen into the almajiiri Abyss.

Edo, Kwara and Benue are trying their best to hold but their time is coming. The white walkers are coming!

I just pity them.....because they will pay for it by hook or crook......they should be ready to provide their great grand mothers birth certificate while on duty.......the innocent ones will suffer for what they don't know.

Don't ever joke with the Northerners in their land.

Plausible deniability

Everything bello wrote up there is wrong. What if it was his wife that was the passenger, will he say the same? Mtcheew

Lagos dodge this bullet

Northerner's are over doing this retaliation thing.

Quick BAN.

Then investigate their argument while keeping ban, after much much, keep ban.

I have been to all the 19 states in the North and I can tell you all these law enforcement agencies don't have a strong grip there. How many times have you heard that SARS or Police killed someone in the North? I can boldly tell you that all the commercial vehicles in the North don't have complete papers and no law enforcement agency dare challenge them
