Mr. Omeje who said that the corps would not hesitate to continue to sanction those engage in such acts, warned commercial motorcyclists to always put on element before operating on the road.
The FRSC Assistant Corps Commander sought the assistance e Ekiti Government in providing Heavy Duty tolling equipment that would help remove any broken vehicle obstructing vehicular moment across the highways in the state.
Also, the FRSC State Commander, Mrs Funmilayo Akinlade said that the corps would henceforth arrest any taxi driver who obstructed the road or park indiscriminately across the city of Ado Ekiti.
Mrs Akinlade explained that despite efforts to ensure sanity on the highways, many Motorists found it difficult to obey the traffic rules which were mainly for the benefits of every Nigerian.
