Don’t collect bribes, FRSC Commander tells officers
Yakubu Mohammed, Sector Commander, Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Benue Command, has warned FRSC personnel in the state against receiving bribes from motorists.
The warning, contained in a statement signed by him and issued to reporters in Makurdi on Sunday, said that a machinery was put in place to check such erring personnel for punitive measures.
It also charged road users to be conscious of all safety rules and regulations to avoid traffic breaches such as overloading, reckless driving and speeding.

The commander also assured members of the public of the readiness of the command to respond promptly to all cases of road crashes in order to save lives.
