The initiative comes following directives from the FRSC Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, as part of ongoing efforts to eliminate life-threatening violations on Nigerian highways.
In a statement, the Corps Public Education Officer, Osondu Ohaeri, described the operation as a decisive measure to tackle widespread non-compliance with road safety regulations, particularly during the ongoing Easter special patrol.
Several articulated vehicles were intercepted along key transport routes, carrying a hazardous combination of passengers, livestock, and goods. In some instances, over 100 people were found cramped alongside animals and cargo, significantly increasing the risk of fatal accidents.
Speaking on the enforcement drive, Mohammed condemned the practice, describing it as “a ticking time bomb on Nigerian highways” and an “egregious violation that turns vehicles into rolling death traps.”
He emphasized that the Corps would maintain the crackdown and ensure that offenders are prosecuted under relevant traffic laws.
The FRSC called on motorists and transport operators to strictly observe safety regulations, warning that mixed loading endangers lives and will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
