BEARS: Money Beats Traffic Rules
Last week at Apapa-Oshodi Expressway close to Ottor Wharf bus stop, the men of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) were extorting N50 from commercial buses for driving against the traffic as a result of the gridlock on the road.
These are men whose primary duty is to help direct and control traffic for the benefit of road users but are now defrauding them for their own personal interest. The question is, should challenges like gridlock be a tool for extortion especially from men of FRSC?
Every day, Lagosians groan under the burden of heavy traffic; yet some government officials hide under this guise to enrich themselves. There is God ooo.
