Kazeem, head, media relations & strategy for FRSC quoted his boss as directed
that full weight of law must be applied against the driver for the dastard
killings.
Kazeem said while carrying
out their lawful duties at a mobile court located at Talata Mafara, four FRSC
staff, one policeman, one personnel from the NSCDC were hit by the Golf driver,
killing three FRSC Marshals and injuring one.
Also injured were the policeman and a civil defence
staff who are all recuperating in the hospital after sustaining serious
injuries. The victims were all taken to Talata Mafara general hospital, Kazeem
said.
Meanwhile, the driver
has since been arrested and handed over to the Police for further
investigations and further necessary action.
It would be recalled
that no fewer than 35 regular Marshals of the Corps have been killed by
motorists on highways across the country in the past one year while on official
duties, with seven of them from Niger State.
In one of the
incidents in Minna, an FRSC staff was knocked down by a driver while trying to
clear obstructions on the highway and has gone through two operations and might
lose his manhood as a result of injuries sustained during the car crash.
