The Federal Road Safety Corps has set up over 200 mobile court operations to prosecute traffic offenders during the Easter special patrol operations across the country.

FRSC’s corps marshal, Shehu Mohammed, said this in a statement on Wednesday.

Mr Mohammed said the mobile courts were set up to ensure a safe and smooth 2025 Easter celebration nationwide from Thursday to April 23. He said that FRSC had also set up a situation room at its headquarters for effective monitoring and prompt response to monitoring activities nationwide.

He said this would be to collate and process information for dissemination to relevant commands and stakeholders, as the case may be.

“To this end, the corps would carry out aggressive enforcement, including conducting over 200 mobile courts operations, with the aim of checking the following offences.

“Speeding and dangerous driving, overtaking, lane indiscipline/route violation, road obstructions, use of phone while driving, overloading, seat belt/child restraint use violations.

“Also included are passengers’ manifest violation, operation of mechanical deficient and rickety vehicles, latching and twist-locks violation, among others,” he said.

Mr Mohammed also directed the commanding officers to liaise with other strategic stakeholders within their operational areas to secure the needed moral, logistics, and security support.
