‘No Traffic Offender Will Go Unpunished’ – Isoko North Council Boss Warns

Published

on





The chairman of Isoko North Local Government Area, Godwin Ogorugba, has warned that road traffic offender in Isoko North Council shall henceforth be made to face the wrath of the law.

Ogorugba heeded down the warning while inaugurating the Road Task Force Committee on Monday in his office with a strong warning to offenders of road traffic.

Condemning the reckless attitude of motorcycles (Okada) riders and motorists who persistently violate traffic laws simply because they are in a hurry, Ogorugba categorically made it clear that offenders shall henceforth be fapprehended and penalised.

“We have lost too many lives due to this reckless one-way driving. It pains me deeply, especially as we recently buried one of my cousins who died as a result of this. The committee’s mandate is to support existing government agencies in ensuring road safety, not to extort money from residents.

“The growing concern in the Iyede axis, where traders have taken over the main road, creating a serious risk to lives and property. If anything happens there, it will be a tragedy we won’t easily recover from. We must address this issue now before it escalates beyond control,” he warned.

The committee has Emmanuel Akukwata as chairman, who will also oversee the Ozoro axis, alongside Isagba Gabriiel (Otor Owhe), Lucky Okeremu (Emevor), and Festus Onwah (Iyede), with other members managing their respective areas.

Representatives from the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) and traffic officers from Ozoro Division A and Otor Owhe Division B will also be part of the task force.

Speaking at the event, the FRSC Unit Commander Mukoro O. I. commended the council chairman for taking this proactive step, noting that the rising number of accidents and casualties made the committee’s formation timely.

Thanking the council chairman, Akukwata on behalf of the committee expressed his profound gratitude to the chairman for entrusting them with the responsibility and assured that they would carry out their duties effectively in line with his vision.

Also present at the inauguration were the Vice Chairman, Evelyn Aluta, Secretary to the Council, Vote Umukoro, Supervisors, and Security Chiefs.
