The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Monday, said it busted a cannabis importer along the Badagry – Seme corridor of the Nigeria-Benin Republic border when its patrol team apprehended and impounded a vehicle for Seatbelt Violation and Driver Licence Violation, only to discover that the vehicle was conveying a large quantity of cannabis into Nigeria.
Head, Media Relations and Strategy, FRSC, Bisi Kazeem, said the team of Badagry Unit Command of FRSC on patrol operations along the route intercepted the vehicle and booked it for two offences before making the shocking discovery of its content with the collaboration of the men of the Nigerian Customs who were also on patrol duties on the road.
The vehicle, according to Kazeem, is presently with the Comptroller of Custom at Seme for further investigations before it would be handed over to the appropriate drug law authority for contravening the law against drug peddling.
Kazeem stated that it is in view of this great mark of achievement which is targeted at keeping the society sane as a security outfit that the FRSC Corps Marshal, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi, continues to call for a stronger collaboration with sister agencies.The Corps had intercepted a vehicle convening children (minors) through Kaduna with some suspected child traffickers who were consequently handed over to the relevant authorities. Also in Kaduna, the FRSC rescue team had equally recovered five locally-made AK 47 rifles from a man whose vehicle was involved in a crash.
Kazeem stated that the Corps Marshal is pleased to see that the officers and men of the Corps have so far been demonstrating the willingness to make the rules of engagement with sister agencies viable and more diligent in their duties combined with maintenance of security and safety as it relates to the motoring public.
