The Federal Roads Safely Corps, Ota Unit in Ogun State, has decried the activities of street urchins popularly known as ‘Area Boys’ in the area.
Unit Commander of FRSC, Mr. Sunday Omafu, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Sango-Ota on Thursday that the hoodlums were obstructing the free flow of traffic in Sango and its environs.
According to Omafu, the miscreants are preventing the personnel of the corps from enforcing traffic laws in the area
.
“Anytime the FRSC is directing drivers, especially the commercial bus drivers, the area boys believe that the FRSC officials are preventing them from collecting their money,” he said.
He added that the unit would embark on aggressive public enlightenment to involve officials of the National Union of Road Transport Workers in the state in order to address the challenge.
“We shall continue to enlighten them both at the motor parks and at the bus stops on the need for free flow of traffic,” he said.
The unit commander alleged that the area boys were hiding under the operation of the NURTW to obstruct traffic.
