The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Dauda Biu, has ordered an immediate clampdown on all old and rickety vehicles across the country.
Biu gave the directives in a statement by the Corps Public Education Officer and Assistant Corps Marshal, Mr Bisi Kazeem, on Thursday in Abuja.
The FRSC marshal said the directive became necessary due to a trending video of an old car with three worn-out tyres plying the highway in Sagamu, Ogun State.
He ordered the immediate clampdown of the vehicle and the arrest of the owner, as the act could endanger the lives and property of the public.
Biu said that the new order is part of a continued effort by the FRSC to reduce road accidents.
He said that all Sector Commanders and Zonal Commanding Officers of the FRSC were to begin enforcing the new order with immediate effect.
