The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps-FRSC, Dauda Biu, has ordered an immediate clampdown on all old and rickety vehicles across the country.
Biu gave the directives in a statement by the Corps Public Education Officer and Assistant Corps Marshal, Bisi Kazeem, in Abuja.
The FRSC marshal said the directive became necessary due to a trending video of an old car with three worn-out tyres plying the highway in Sagamu, Ogun State.
He ordered the immediate clampdown of the vehicle and the arrest of the owner, as the act could endanger the lives and property of the public, noting that the operation will be conducted nationwide, and severe punishment awaits the owner and anyone using such vehicles.
