A Chief Magistrate Court sitting in Jimeta, Yola, Adamawa State has convicted and sentenced one Mr Nuhu Isah to six months imprisonment for intimidating and instigating mob action against Federal Road Safety Corp (FRSC) officials on duty.

The court presided over by His Worship, Mohammed Njidda on the 7th of January 2025, however, gave Isah an option of N20,000 fine, for criminally intimidating the FRSC Patrol team.

The defendant; a passer-by, had on 5th of January 2025 while recording the FRSC Patrol team intimidated and further instigated passengers to mob the FRSC team who were conducting their lawful duty consequent upon which he was apprehended and taken to court.

Reacting to the development, the Corps Marshal, FRSC, Shehu Mohammed, called on all road users to contribute their quota towards improving safety on the highway instead of engaging in acts inimical to safer road use.

He emphasised the unwavering commitment of the FRSC towards creating safety on all Nigerian Roads and further reiterated that FRSC staff cannot be deterred by threats from miscreants.

Mohammed recalled that in line with the FRSC’s commitment to ensuring free traffic flow and prompt response to emergencies during the festive period, it deployed its entire workforce to man the nation’s highways.
