The Federal Road Safety
Corps (FRSC) has uncovered some packs of Indian hemp in apprehended vehicle,
reports ITRealms.
Confirming this to ITRealms, the Head, Media Relations and Strategy, FRSC, Bisi Kazeem, said that its patrol team had apprehended and
impounded a vehicle along Seme-Badagry Border for Seatbelt Violation and Driver
Licence Violation, only to discover that the said vehicle was conveying a
large quantity of Indian Hemp into Nigeria.
According to Kazeem, the
Badagry Unit Command of FRSC on patrol operations along the route
intercepted the vehicle with vehicle number, EPE 237 XC at 0845hrs and had
already established the two offences before making the discovery with the
collaborative effort of the Nigerian Customs who were equally on the same route
with their patrol team.
The Vehicle is presently
with the Comptroller Custom Seme for further investigations before it would be
handed over to the appropriate drug law authority for contravening the law
against drug peddling.
He also stated that it
is in view of this great mark of achievement which is targeted at keeping the
society sane as a security outfit that the FRSC Corps Marshal, Dr. Boboye
Oyeyemi, continues to call for a stronger collaboration with sister agencies.
He recalled that not long
ago, the Corps had intercepted a vehicle convening children (minors) through
Kaduna with some suspected child traffickers who were consequently handed over
to the relevant authorities. And in the same Kaduna, the FRSC rescue team had
equally recovered five locally made AK 47 rifles from a man whose vehicle
was involved in a crash.
Against this backdrop,
Kazeem stated that the Corps Marshal is pleased to see that the officers and
men of the Corps have so far been demonstrating the willingness to make the
rules of engagement with sister agencies viable and more diligent in their
duties combined with maintenance of security and safety as it relates to the
motoring public.
