Drivers kill 35 FRSC regular marshals in the last year


About 35 regular marshals of the FRSC lost their lives in the passing year,

Commander Susan Ajenge has said.
Ajenge who made this disclosure on the floor of the Niger state House of
Assembly, said the development occurred when the officers were trying to
enforce simple safety regulations on the highways.
She said another staff recently knocked down by a driver while trying to clear
obstruction on the highway, is currently battling for life in a hospital.
She said the victim may loose his manhood, having gone through two
operations.
Daily Post reports that the state legislatures had invited the commander to
defend the series of criticisms by the public against FRSC, over allegations of
its officials intimidating and harassing motorists in its desperate move to
generate revenue for government.
However, Ajenge defended the commission, lamenting that rather than obey
simple traffic rules, motorists would turn around to criticise and attack FRSC
officials.
Meanwhile, an FRSC officer was beaten to pulp in Lagos, after he reportedly
caused a very ghastly motor accident. The FRSC officer was said to have
caused an accident while trying to flag down a motorist .
