The driver of a Toyota Camry car, Mr. Abiodun Agbaje, has been arraigned before a Chief Magistrate's Court sitting in Ore, Ondo State, for allegedly knocking down an officer of the Federal Road Safety
Commission (FRSC), Mr. Yussuf Salahudeen.
Agbaje, who was driving the car with registration number DV 863 GGE, allegedly knocked down the FRSC officer on the Lagos–Benin Expressway, Ore in Odigbo Local Government.
In a two-count charge, the accused reportedly committed an offence contrary to Section 10 of the FRSC (Establishment) Act of 2007 and punishable under Section 10(4) (J) of the FRSC (Establishment) Act of 2007.
Speaking with reporters, the state Sector Commander of the commission, Mrs. Aderonke Daniel, said the driver was allegedly driving recklessly on the highway before the accident occurred.
She said the victim did not die but sustained serious injuries and is receiving treatment in hospital.
Mrs. Daniel urged motorists to avoid reckless driving and other traffic offences, saying with a normal speed, it would be easy for a driver to control his vehicle if there
is a problem.
The case was adjourned till July 22.
