An operative of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has been hospitalised after he was shot by a driver who violated traffic regulations in Ogun State.
WuzupNigeria gathered that the unnamed official had tried to arrest a vehicle marked WED264YE for route violation and driving against traffic but the driver – an unidentified man who claimed to be a policeman – pulled a pistol and shot at one of the legs of the arresting Marshal that stopped him before zooming off.
The incident happened on Sunday at the Ibafo corridor of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway when the FRSC operatives were controlling traffic.
The Sector Commander, FRSC, Ogun State Sector Command, Vincent Oladele, said the Marshal is in a stable condition at the hospital while the incident has been reported to the Police.
According to Oladele in a release on Monday by the Route Commander and Public Education Officer, a manhunt has been mounted for the arrest of the fleeing gunman.
Meanwhile, an accident that occurred yesterday at the Abeokuta- Sagamu expressway around the Muhammadu Buhari Estate stretch of it has left two people with injuries.
The cause of the accident which involved a vehicle registration number BDJ865AA and another marked LSD419FM (Sienna bus) was attributed to “wrongful overtaking.”
