Thursday, October 9, 2025 - Zamfara State Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has impounded 151 vehicles during a special patrol conducted in September to curb road traffic violations across the state.
Sector Commander Aliyu Ma’aji, who disclosed this on Wednesday in Gusau, said
the operation focused on offences such as overloading, mixed loading, and
excessive speeding.
He revealed that 75 of the seized vehicles were apprehended
for attempting to bribe FRSC personnel, adding that the offenders would face
prosecution for both corruption and traffic offences.
Ma’aji also said 76 other vehicles were impounded for
various road infractions, with plans underway to establish a mobile court for
speedy prosecution of offenders.
“Zamfara serves as a gateway to Sokoto, Kebbi, and the
Republic of Niger, with many vehicles transiting through the state. Most of the
overloaded vehicles do not originate from here, which makes tracking their
sources difficult,” he said.
The commander warned motorists to desist from traffic
violations or face the full weight of the law, stressing that the FRSC would
sustain its vigilance to ensure safer highways.
Ma’aji urged all road users and stakeholders to cooperate
with the Corps in reducing accidents and ensuring compliance with traffic
regulations across the state.
