ABUJA — The FCT Administration has intensified raids on illegal motor parks and garages in the nation’s capital city as no fewer than thirty motorcycles, twenty vehicles, and five tricycles were impounded at the weekend.
Head of FCT Directorate of Road Traffic Services otherwise known as Vehicle Inspection Office (VIO) Task team, Adamu Shehu Maiwada also said three drivers were arrested for allegedly attempting to obstruct the officials drawn from various traffic management and security agencies during the exercise.
The exercise started from Jabi Conoil, Cash and Cary mall in Jahi, Bannex junction , Katampe Extension, Maitama junction and AYA Roundabout in Asokoro District.
“Confiscated vehicles will be released upon payment of appropriate fines while persons arrested will be investigated and arraigned before a Mobile court, all to serve as a deterrent to others.
“If you go round, you will see how lawless the motorists are, as they park anyhow. Somebody will come to the centre of the road, and park to solicit for passengers.
“And people complain daily about this menace. So, we have to continue with the exercise, until everything normalizes”, he added,
Maiwada reiterated that the mandate from the FCT Minister, Mallam Muhammad Musa Bello and Commissioner of Police, Adamu Corona, who is the Chairman is that it’s a continuous exercise until there is sanity in the city.
He however, disclosed that the notorious spots in the city are Area Roundabout and under Apo Legislative bridge, because “ we went there several times, and as soon we turned our back, they are back to continue their business there.
“But we can’t be tired carrying out the exercise, because it’s our job. And we will continue doing it until when they are tired.”
