FCT police warn motorists against one-way driving

The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has issued a stern warning to motorists against driving against traffic, also known as one-way driving, threatening arrest and prosecution for those who disregard the law. Command Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh, expressed concern over the increasing disregard for traffic regulations by some motorists, even those with connections or influential status.

The warning came in a statement issued on Monday by the FCT Police, following a directive from the Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Sanusi, to intensify enforcement of traffic laws across the territory. Sanusi emphasized that no individual, regardless of status or connections, would be exempted from the consequences of violating traffic regulations.

The police urged motorists to obey traffic signs, follow instructions from traffic officers, and refrain from bypassing diversions, especially around road construction sites and areas with restricted traffic movement. The police also cautioned against engaging in extorting motorists during enforcement operations, with disciplinary action awaiting those found violating police rules and regulations.
