FRSC Between Non Offenses and Unjust Fines by Somatic(m): 10:51pm On Aug 05, 2016
Lalasticlala come and see snake that looks like Tonto Dike O!


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.

Guy if you don't know what to say keep quiet. So if someone is booked in error the booking can't be quashed? What if this is taken to court and complainant wins the case? Does it mean he still has to pay?

Every kobo counts. Your advice is what is keeping our society from progressing. You should be encouraging him to post everywhere he can, you never can tell where it will get to. I'll suggest you lodge a complain with servicom and write to his unit commandant.

I wish you guys insisted on seeing their boss in the office.
First thing on Monday morning, go directly to the person in command and report the case. It does not matter if it's 3k or 30k or 300k, the ticket was wrongly issued. Besides I read an article which says FRSC are not allowed to issue fines. Please fight for your right or other innocent people would suffer same. I salute your courage and persistence.

If you have a twitter account. If you have wide followers, ask for retweet.

Take to ur face book page and WhatsApp, broadcast, to contest this archaic injustice

Let's push this injustice as far as we can

The excesses of our uniformed men needs to be curtailed.
This is social media age. They need to learn to thread with caution.

Balderdash!!! Make a thorough search on the FRSC vehicle, you will never see Fire Extinguisher, or even Triangle. But they will take delight in booking unknowing offenders. What a commission?

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.

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
