However, as at this morning both the Truck driver and the road safety officer, Mr. C.U Mgbede, have been discharged.

Narrating his own side of the story. The truck driver said he was unconscious of what happened himself. He regretted his actions and whatever it might have caused the FRSC.

The head of the operation of the command Mr. Bakare F.A said, traffic offences are designed to ensure that drivers and car owners respect the right of other road users and make safety a priority at all times.

He said, "despite the existence of traffic laws, some drivers flout these rules in complete disregard to the government agencies that established them.

"Sometimes, these laws are flouted out of ignorance or from a place of taking the laws for granted. To ensure that such laws are protected, the government attached penalties to them as a means of correcting erring drivers and road users.

"It’s a privilege to work in this situation because it gives you a high sense of responsibility and you don’t take things for granted, however ADR Alternative Dispute Resoulation will be made."
