The driver on Tuesday around the Sagamu Interchange knocked down an FRSC operative while on patrol, after being stopped for violating a traffic infraction but in a desperate attempt to escape, knocked down the Marshal. “Motorists should plan their journeys to accommodate additional travel time at the various construction zones where road lanes have narrowed, due to the construction activities of the major construction companies rehabilitating the Benin-Ore-Ijebu Ode-Sagamu and the Lagos-Ibadan Expressways,” she said.
