FRSC to impound vehicles transporting animals, humans together

The sector commander urged the public to desist from the
act, adding that FRSC is setting up mobile courts for the offence.

“It is either you are carrying animals or you are carrying
passengers and this is very common among big trucks as they have adopted it as
a method of loading, which is very dangerous,” Ikaba said.

 “We advise that
henceforth, where you need to load them, they should be separated.

“It is only just one person that is allowed to take care of
the animals while they are being transported from one place to the other.

“The move we are making in this regard is to begin to
organise mobile courts where any culprit will be made to face a magistrate and
explain why he has to contravene the laws of the land.

“This is very serious and we are going to swing into action
any moment from now as we are liaising with the courts and we have the
magistrate already on ground to take our cases.”
