FRSC procures equipment to detect liquor from breath of motorists


The Federal Road Safety Corps, Bayelsa command, has threatened to apprehend and prosecute drunk drivers especially, during the yuletide. Mr Ikechukwu Igwe, the state FRSC Sector Commander, who made the threat in an interview with the _News Agency of Nigeria_ in Yenagoa on Monday, said the command had procured equipment to detect liquor from the breath of motorists.

“We have gotten the machine that we will be used to detect drunk drivers in order to safeguard lives and property of road users. When we arrest you, you will be prosecuted according to the law; so, avoid driving under the influence of alcohol. Speed limit and over-loading violation are some of the major causes of fatal accidents on the highways,” he said.

Igwe however, disclosed that the command recorded only eight road crashes between September and October. He explained that out of the eight crashes, three were fatal while five were serious.
