▪︎Defaulters to be prosecuted
The Kaduna State Government has warned drivers plying Kaduna-Abuja Road to desist from driving against the direction of traffic with immediate effect.
In a statement, Commissioner, Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan said any driver found violating this directive would be arrested and immediately prosecuted.
He said the decision followed extensive review of the danger of this practice, and how it had led to accidents and loss of lives due to panic by motorists.
Aruwan further stated that “criminals also take advantage of the menace to rob motorists of their valuables and easily aid banditry.”
He said Governor Nasir el-Rufai who was briefed on the development authorized security agencies to enforce the ban, arrest violators and hand them over to the police for appropriate sanctions.
