The House of Representatives has called on the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, and Nigerian Police Force, to enforce the law on indiscriminate use of sirens on Nigerian roads.
The House also ordered the law enforcement agencies to clamp down on those using sirens illegally nationwide.
DAILY POST reports that the resolution followed the adoption of a motion by Jesse Onuakalusi (LP-Lagos) at plenary on Wednesday.
Onuakalusi, in the motion entitled: ‘Need to Check the Abuse of the Use of Siren on Nigeria’s Roads’, noted that some criminal elements had taken undue advantage to unleash fear and terror on the society with the indiscriminate use of sirens.
He noted that the abuse had negatively impacted on appropriate security assessment, adding that it was now difficult to distinguish between the officials entitled to sirens and imposters.
The House further mandated the Committees on Federal Road Safety Commission and Police Affairs to ensure compliance.
