The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has launched a special enforcement operation in Ogun State to clamp down on fake number plates, vehicle overloading, and unsafe haulage practices.

The Ogun State Command of the FRSC said the initiative, codenamed “Operation Guduma,” is aimed at reducing fatal road crashes across Nigerian highways.

Spokesperson of the Corps in the state, Afolabi Odunsi, confirmed the development in a statement on Tuesday.
He said enforcement teams have been deployed to monitor and prosecute offenders involved in the use of fake diplomatic plates, overloading, mixed loading of passengers and goods, and the transportation of unsecured containers.

According to him, the operation is in line with directives from the FRSC National Headquarters and is being supervised by Assistant Corps Marshal J.O. Asaolu, in collaboration with Ogun State Sector Commander, Corps Commander Oludare Ogunjobi.

He stressed that the exercise specifically targets counterfeit diplomatic plates, overloading of vehicles beyond approved capacity, unsafe mixed loading, and failure to properly secure containers with safety locks and mechanisms.

“The operation targets counterfeit diplomatic plates, overloading, mixed loading of passengers and goods, and unsecured containers,” the statement noted.

The Sector Commander, Oludare Ogunjobi, urged motorists, transport operators, and fleet managers to strictly comply with traffic regulations during and after the enforcement period.

He reiterated that the Corps maintains zero tolerance for violations that endanger lives and property, stressing that road safety remains its top priority.
