I wonder how these people act with such sense of no impunity. This case is quite similar to my experience of December 24 2015. I was travelling with my family from ibadan to Lagos for Christmas with Christmas goat in my wagon ( 1998 passat) along lagos abeokuta express. I only asked to be given a through pass as the frsc guy was delaying me while trying obtain e gun je from an overloaded cab the walked up to me and asked why I was hooting. as a correct ibadan boy I kept him in his place so he started asking for my safety kits and license when he couldn't find fault he claimed I am overloaded cos of the ram. We were only 3 in a wagon car o. The guy booked me I had to pay 2k cos my wife pleaded with him he said my fee was 10k

sure say no be small cow u carry for boot?

Sorry to say this: Fire extinguisher is a very important and urgent safety equipment. Imagine there has been fire, your mum would have needed to produce it in a jiffy, so it is an offence for her not to know its whereabout. It is not enough to have a fire extinguisher, it must be strategically placed for easy and immediate access in case of fire.
Secondly the FRSC in question didn't extort but gave an official fine. The money paid goes straight into government coffer.
It is an unfortunate incident but let your mum be conversant with where those items are placed before driving her car out. In case of emergency such knowledge might save her and her car.

Its an offence not to own an extinguisher but no knowing where it is is a human error. She should have gotten a warning thats it. Not a booking. PERIOD

I have tried to avoid responding to your comments but this second one got me thinking... everything is not done by physical fight. He has done the best he should, given the circumstances... maybe or perhaps in future you will understand better. That notwithstanding the post is of paramount important to many. Learn to accommodate. happy weekend.

If everyone allow corrupt officers go scot free, then we will be doomed, one must be made a scape goat. Say no to unlawfulful extortionl and oppression.

Sadly the Road Safety guys can claim she couldn't produce it as at when she was booked and they were not under obligation to help her search for it. Had there been fire she equally wouldn't have the privilege of people helping her search for her extinguisher. It is an important piece of equipment she ought to be able to immediately access if need arises.

Let spare those guys, though they can be pain in ass sometimes (Just like they have been to me), in this case they were trying to help your mum. I have seen someone lose his car in fire because he didn't have an extinguisher and I have witnessed another motorist helped save another's car because he quickly produced his own extinguisher to help.

bros, in civilised countries, she is cautioned and showed were they are by the officials.. she is delayed for a while cos of been schooled for the reason she should know where they are and let go. she is a senior citizen for Gods sake..pls let's stop been to strict with our judgement

LizFem:
I have questions based on a personal experience,

1) if one is fined for driving with two 'worn out tyres' is one required to pay the fine immediately? the offence sheet says you have 7 days to make payment before being taken to court.

2)
Does the FRSC have the right to collect ones car keys even after no resistance whatsoever from the 'offender'?

3) Does the FRSC have the right to drive ones car into their premises while the owner is in the bank trying to pay the fine and without the owners knowledge and insist on the two tyres being replaced with new ones before the vehicle can be released?

4)How long is the grace period given by the FRSC before a driver can renew his license.

I will really appreciate answers to these questions of mine. thanks.

That's indiscipline and breaking the law. Not stopping is bad. Think, it can lead to accident. Just ensure all you are required to have is intact, be friendly and respectful, if they then book you frivolously, you can then engage them.

Today, I was at my shed minding my business and trying to prevent the devil from rumpling my destiny when at exactly 3:13pm, I received a call. The frenzied voice at the other end, my mother's. She claimed the FRSC then stationed a few meters to her home were holding her on her inability to produce for them, her warning triangle and her triangle extinguisher. I tried my best to guide her towards where the items were kept, however she succeeded in getting out the triangle sans extinguisher.

Drove to the scene with a colleague to discover that they have let her go. Only after booking her irreversibly and seizing her license accordingly. My much calmer colleague pleaded that they reverse the charge bearing in mind that it was done in error. They admitted the error but turned to blame their error on my mum's inability to know the whereabouts of her particulars. I asked if any of them if they helped her search, seeing she couldn't get it. Instead, one Emmanuel Baka said my mother annoyed him by sitting in the car and making calls instead of getting out to beg.

Called mum to come back to scene to confirm their claims. She asked them to their face to deny that she begged them, each and every one. She begged that she leave the car with them and walk home to seek out the 'truant extinguisher'. She begged they allow me come before taking action. She used every old lady sentiment on them. And yet they didn't budge. The Emmanuel guy said the charge is irreversible and she has to pay. His "consolation", rather than pay within the two week ultimatum, my mum has "an extended grace period" of 1 month to pay the fine or get charged to court. Meanwhile her driver's license had been seized already. I ranted and raved. Mum and colleague begged and pleaded. FRSC Maraban Jos Kaduna unit did not budge. Apparently TGIF returns does cloud proper sense of reasoning and judgement. The amount(3,000) is not much. How ever, the unfairness and injustice of it all..... I can't explain. He even threatened to add obstruction of duty to the already existing charges if we do not leave his presence. And yours truly dared him to.

Meanwhile right before them, a bad driver was reported and an accident occurred. Unofficial PRO Emmanuel Baka maintained that first they are mandated not to act on citizen information, and the accident was "not within his jurisdiction". So extortion is within his jurisdiction, I queried. I do not know if the uniform by Nigerian law enforcement provides cover for all sorts of impunity. However, if it is so, through this platform, Emmanuel Baka and FRSC Birnin Yero Unit, Maraban Jos and their likes may learn the proper use of the uniform on their backs and the office that they hold.
