The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has arrested a man impersonating a military officer and secured the conviction of 245 traffic offenders during its ongoing enforcement operation in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

According to a statement released on Sunday by the Corps Public Education Officer, Assistant Corps Marshal Olusegun Ogungbemide, the enforcement drive, codenamed Operation Restore Sanity IV, was carried out from September 8 to 12 at the Nyanya Unit Command and on September 10 at the Karu Unit Command.

The operation, conducted in collaboration with the Nigerian Correctional Service and the Nigerian Army Brigade of Guards, targeted drivers flouting traffic regulations along the Abuja–Nyanya corridor.

A total of 254 offenders were arraigned for 563 traffic violations, ranging from seatbelt infractions and overloading to dangerous driving, traffic light disobedience, and the use of mobile phones while driving. Out of these, 245 were convicted, while nine were discharged by the court.

Among those convicted were seven repeat offenders: Shaab Murtala, Abel Sunday, Sunday Salasi, Benjamin Augustine, Ekem Charles, Hussaini Kabir, and Samsudeen Abdullahi. Their penalties ranged from three hours to five days of community service.

In a particularly serious case, Hussaini Kabir was found guilty of impersonating a military officer in addition to multiple traffic violations. He was sentenced to five days of community service at Mambilla Barracks.

Mobile Court proceedings were presided over by His Worship Maryam Muazu Alhaji and His Worship Huzaifa Maccido, with CRC Cindy Talabi of the FCT Sector serving as prosecuting counsel.

FRSC Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, praised the FCT Command for its sustained efforts, stating that such interventions act as deterrents and help restore order on Nigerian roads.

He emphasized that the Mobile Court initiative is part of a broader national strategy to promote road safety, deter repeat offenders, and enforce compliance with traffic laws.

“Similar operations will be carried out across the country to safeguard lives and restore sanity on our roads,” Mohammed warned, urging motorists to avoid reckless behavior and adhere strictly to traffic regulations.
