After weeks of campaign against carrying passengers on trailers, the Inter-agency Joint Task Force recently constituted by the corps marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Dauda Ali Biu to operate along critical corridors have arrested 35 trailers carrying 982 passengers.

Also, the JTF team covering Bauchi-Maiduguri general operation area of the Corps also arrested 16 trailers conveying 172 passengers on that route.
The arrests were perfected within the first one week beginning from March 23 to March 30, 2024 of its operations on the identified routes.

Agwu noted that at the points of arrests, the Inter-agency Joint Task Force ensured that all passengers onboard the trailers were dropped, cautioned against the deadly act and asked to join passenger vehicles designed for conveying people.

While the special operations are going on, the corps marshal also directed sector commanders of the states where the act is more prominent, to sustain ongoing engagement with the leadership of road transport unions as well as owners of articulated vehicles.

“This is to ensure that drivers who engage in such traffic violations are cautioned,” the statement added.
The corps marshal had earlier flagged off the Inter-agency Joint Task Force on March 23, 2024 in Kaduna State, comprising the Nigeria Police Force, the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, State Traffic Management Agencies and Transport Unions.
