The Federal Road Safety Corps, Delta State Command has warned unsuspecting fraudsters using the name of the corps to sell stickers to shuttle bus drivers in the state.
The Delta State Sector Commander, Udeme Bassey Eshiet, in a statement signed by him and made available to our correspondent said the commission is not in partnership with anyone over the alleged sales of stickers.
While saying the shuttle bus drivers should refuse to be scammed through such antics of mischief makers and extortionists, he said the “unwholesome” practice negates what the corps was established to carry out.
“It is extortion of money from shuttle bus drivers through sales of stickers to them claiming to be FRSC stickers and that it will protect them from arrest if traffic law violation is established”
“The motoring public and road users are by this development advised to obey all traffic laws and regulations, desist from offering bribes to the FRSC Operatives, avoid speeding, overloading, use of unsafe tyres and driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
“The corps will soon commence a joint operation code named “Operation Sanitise Asaba-Benin, and Asaba-Onitsha Highways of traffic infractions,” Eshiet stated.
