The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has reacted to the
video making a round on social media describing it as a one-sided story
intended to manipulate the public sympathy and expressed determination to
prosecute the driver sped away with a female personnel at the Federal Capital
Territory (FCT) Abuja, reports ITRealms.
Confirming this to ITRealms,
the Corp Marshal, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi described as manipulated video of the
incident which has been trending on social media platforms.
The Corps, he told ITRealms,
is determined to follow through with the suspect's prosecution as a deterrent.
According to him, on Wednesday last week, July 12 to be
precise, at FCT, the offender was flagged down for routine checks and at the
point when his car was to be impounded due running foul with the traffic laws,
a female staff was attached to the offender to accompany the vehicle to a
nearby FRSC office for further processes as demanded by the law.
“The driver sped away with the female staff,” he declared,
adding that a patrol team obviously concerned about the motive, applied force
to rescue the female operative.
“The manipulated video which the suspect released afterwards
only told one side of the story,” he decried.
