Car owners warned against indiscriminate use of FRSC official insignia, stickers.


The Bauchi State Coordinator of the Special
Marshall of the Federal Roads Safety Corps (FRSC), Dr Kunle Gbadamosi, has warned
private car owners who are not Special
Marshalls using stickers, bannerettes and
other insignia of the Corps on their cars to
immediately stop the act or face prosecution
when caught.

He gave the warning while addressing the
Corps’ Special Marshalls at their monthly
meeting and end of the year congress held
at weekend at the Base of FRSC, Bauchi
Sector Command.

While frowning at the indiscriminate use of
the insignia of the Special Marshall by many
car owners in the state, Gbadamosi
lamented that some of them use such to
flout traffic rules.

This, according to him, had not only been
giving the FRSC a bad image in society but
also setting bad examples for other road
users.

He warned that henceforth anyone who is
not a Special Marshall, caught would have
their vehicle impounded and made to pay
stipulated fines.

In his words, “Henceforth, anyone caught
who is not a Special Marshall either in
Bauchi Sector Command or any other
Command will be arrested, the vehicle impounded until the required fines are paid
as outlined in the rules and laws governing
the Corps''.

He, however, warned Special Marshalls
giving their insignia to their friends and
families to desist from such acts, warning
that any Special Marshalls linked to any such
act will be dealt with.

“Such members will be de-marshalled, fined
and delisted from the membership of the
Marshall in accordance with the law of the
Corps,” the state coordinator threatened.

Gbadamosi told new members during the
meeting to always be ready to save lives and
reduce road crashes, asserting that their
major role is saving lives and reducing
crashes on the roads anytime, anywhere
and anyhow”.

While putting the Marshalls on notice of the
increase in the volume of traffic during the
Yuletide, the state coordinator urged them
to brace up for the activities of the ‘Ember’
months.

He urged them to be ready to make
sacrifices during the festive period, saying
“you have to sacrifice your comfort during
the celebrations in order for the roads to be
safe and traffic flow freely.”lalasticlala mynd44.
