Eid-el-Kabir: FRSC cautions motorists against indiscriminate parking
The Idiroko Unit Command of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Ogun has appealed to motorists to avoid indiscriminate parking of vehicles, especially around ram markets, during the Eld-el-Kabir celebration.
In an interview on Friday in Ota, Ogun, the FRSC Unit Commander in Idiroko, Akinwunmi Olaluwoye, noted that parking indiscriminately on the roads had increased traffic gridlocks around Idiroko and its environs.
He said that such behaviour by motorists could only frustrate efforts of the FRSC personnel towards controlling traffic jams during the Sallah festival.
“We have massively deployed both Regular and Special Marshals to accident-prone areas and to check the excesses of motorists so as to have a hitch-free festival,” Mr Olaluwoye added.
Listing Atan, Ipokia and Owode as some of the strategic and flash areas where there would be heavy presence of FRSC, he appealed to motorists to cooperate with FRSC personnel and other sister agencies to “ensure that the people get to their destinations safely.”
Mr Olaluwoye cautioned against excessive speeding and wrongful overtaking to avoid unnecessary loss of lives on the roads, and enjoined residents to plan their journeys and ensure that their vehicles are always in good condition.
The federal government has declared July 11 and July 12 as holidays for Muslim faithful to celebrate Eld-el-Kabir across the country.
