Fayose arrests FRSC staff for traffic offence


Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, on Friday arrested an officer of the Federal Road Safety (FRSC) in Ikere Ekiti for driving against traffic. 
The governor arrested the FRSC officer while on his way to the flag off of the dualization of the Ado-Ikere-Ondo State boundary road and commissioning of some projects in Ikere town as part of activities marking the first anniversary of his administration.
The FRSC officer, whose name was given as Adeola Alabi left the bad portion of the road for the other lane and drove against traffic to avoid potholes and reconnect the lane ahead. 
The incident, which happened at Sawmill area of Ikere Ekiti, caused traffic gridlock as some residents came out to watch the drama. 
After the arrest, the FRSC personnel prostrated before Fayose, begging the governor to have mercy on him, but Fayose was too infuriated that he immediately ordered the security operatives in his convoy to ensure the road safety officer was apprehended. 
Governor Fayose, who refused to listen to pleas from Alabi, maintained that the law must take its course. 
He then ordered that the Peugeot 505 Saloon car driven by Alabi, should be seized and taken to the Ekiti State Traffic Management Agency (EKSTMA) yard.

1,497 Illegal Routes Into Nigeria – Interior Minister.
 There are no fewer than 1,497 illegal routes that lead into Nigeria. The startling disclosure was made earlier today by Nigeria’s Interior Minister, Abba Moro. Mr. Moro spoke in Abuja while briefing the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the party's national headquarters.
In order to curb the security crisis associated with porous borders, the minister said Nigeria needed more than $244 million. The fund would go into installation of electronic surveillance round the nation's borders.
The minister added that the crisis of insecurity in the country was being compounded by the operation of 30 illegal guard companies in the country. He announced that only the operator of one of them had been arrested.
Mr. Moro also revealed that some scam artists “opened a website in the name of the ministry which they have been using to dupe unsuspecting members of the public.” He added: “One of them even used my name to open such a website, but we have been able to arrest him somewhere in Asokoro, Abuja, when I asked one of his would-be victims to play along with him.”
The minister underscored the fact that Nigeria’s vast borders were porous, making it possible for the 1,497 illegal routes to exist. 
"We are making efforts to procure appropriate modern technology to be installed along our borders and we are collaborating with the USAt and a private Chinese company on this.
"With the assistance of the US State Department, we realised that some components of the offer we got from the private firm was contained in what the State Department would be offering us.
"When we have done this, the temptation of illegal entry into Nigeria will be reduced." By SaharaReporters
