The eradication of bribery and corruption is gradually coming to reality as the sector commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps in Imo State, Evarestus Ebeniro, on Tuesday revealed to the public that 35 motorists had been arrested by his command for trying to induce his officers.
While addressing newsmen at the secretariat of the Nigerian Union of Journalists in Owerri, the sector commander said his command had zero tolerance for corruption.
He disclosed that the arrests made were only for the month of August as his command has mapped out plans to deal with any officer found culpable of engaging in such practice in the state.
He further stated that the command is ready for the hazards of traffic gridlock associated with ember months, saying that the state government had helped to ease traffic by turning the roundabouts to intersections.
“Already, we have mapped traffic for the routes into Owerri which is enormous during Christmas. We will deploy men to flash points. We will partner with FERMA and other agencies to immediately clear broken down vehicles to ensure flow of traffic.”
He finally assured free flow of traffic and called on road users to drive carefully without the influence of alcohol and substance abuse.
