At least 35 persons were at the weekend convicted for violating traffic regulations by a mobile court set up by the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Ngor-Okpala, Imo State.
The motorists, who were brought before the mobile court presided over by Magistrate Akunna Opara of the Imo State judiciary, were convicted for driver licence violation, number plate violation, over speeding and loading, among other traffic offences.
The Unit Commander, Augustine Kalu, said that in line with FRSC 2016 corporate and strategic goals of reducing road traffic crashes by 15%, the command decided to prosecute traffic offenders to serve as deterrent to others.
He said the corps had started the inspection of fleet operators’ terminals under the Road Transport Safety Standardization Scheme (RTSSS).
