According to information received by the daughter to the woman in the picture below, identified as "@spikkylibral" on twitter; an FRSC official allegedly assaulted this elderly woman in Mushin area of Lagos - Nigeria.
It was gathered that happened when she was stopped for a crack windscreen and she was pleading that she is going for her daughter engagement.
It is however unclear what really transpired between the FRSC official and the elderly woman to warrant the alleged assault. But if this allegation is true, then the FRSC authority should please investigate this case and make sure that the assaulter is brought to book, to deter future occurrence.
If i am right, i think is main duty of the FRSC is "Making the highway safe for motorists and other road users. Recommending works and devices designed to eliminate or minimize accidents on the highways and advising the Federal and State Governments including the Federal Capital Territory Administration and relevant governmental agencies on the localities where such works and devices are required, and Educating motorists and members of the public on the importance of discipline on the highway.
In particular the Commission is charged with the responsibilities for: Preventing or minimizing accidents on the highway; Clearing obstructions on any part of the highways; Educating drivers, motorists and other members of the public generally on the proper use of the highways; Designing and producing the driver’s license to be used by various categories of vehicle operators; Determining, from time to time, the requirements to be satisfied by an applicant for a driver’s licence; Designing and producing vehicle number plates" .
There is nothing like assaulting commuters written here. so, the FRSC authorities should endevour that her officials on our highways adhere to the their duties.
