The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) FCT Sector Commander Mr Gora Wobin has declared that ‘no individual is above traffic laws’ in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

Wobin said this today while speaking against the backdrop of the wanton disregard for traffic laws by highly placed personalities and government motorcades in the nation’s capital.

He noted that contrary to popular thinking, influential figures often referred to as `big men’ in Nigerian parlance, were not above the law as far as FRSC was concerned.

The FRSC officer called on very important persons in the society to use their influence to ensure road safety.

Wobin said that ideally such personalities were supposed to be advocates of good conduct. He urged them to join the Corps as Special Marshals.

Report received says that respected public figures, including top brass of security agencies of government are often seen in Abuja, either disobeying speed limits, driving on pavements or against vehicular traffic, among other infringements.
