The Sector Commander, Mr Francis Udoma, also spoke with NAN on the traffic violations and the usefulness of mobile courts.

“The corps instituted the mobile court to enforce traffic rules and ensure zero road crash, injury and death on the nation’s roads.

Intensive special patrol and the mobile court are aimed at addressing the spate of avoidable road crashes usually high on major highways.

The goal is to reduce unexpected death of road users due to drivers’ carelessness.

We will continue to arrest all drivers who overload their vehicles; drivers with no licence; drivers who over speed, as well as drivers with worn out tyres", he said.
