The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi, has said that the Corps will begin the prosecution of abusers of sirens and convoys across the federation. In a statement by the Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Bisi Kazeem, Wednesday, Oyeyemi said the organisation would work with the police to ensure that offenders were prosecuted accordingly. According to him, most abusers of convoys and sirens are not government officials but private individuals, who are unauthorised to use convoys or sirens in the country. He said that those found guilty in 2020 would be brought to book with their vehicles impounded and the drivers prosecuted according to the law. He lauded the use of Google map but cautioned against hand-held driving usage of the map, saying that anyone caught by the FRSC would also be arrested and prosecuted.
