By Anne Osemekeh, Abuja
The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Shehu Mohammed, has ordered operatives of the Corps to collaborate with other security agencies to enforce compliance on restrictions of vehicular movement.
The Corps’ Public Education Officer, Olusegun Ogungbemide, on Friday, said the order was given as part of efforts put in place to ensure smooth conduct of the forthcoming Edo State gubernatorial elections scheduled by the electoral umpire to hold on Saturday, 21 September, 2024.
TheFact Daily gathers that the directive issued by the Corps Marshal also mandated personnel to clear obstructions from the roads, carry out rescue operations in case of emergencies, and maintain orderliness in polling booths.
In the same vein, adequate mobilisation has also been made for operational tools including deployment of vehicles, tow trucks, as well as ambulances to strengthen enforcement of restrictions during the entire process of the election.
While emphasising on the need to exhibit the highest sense of professionalism, the Corps Marshal also admonished them to avoid any act that could lead to abuse of the rights of electorates.
While reading out the marching orders to the personnel, the Corps Marshal wished electorates a peaceful, free and fair election exercise.
