To check the excesses of motorists during the Eid-el-Fitri celebration, Ogun State Command of the Federal Road Safety Commission, says it will begin a special seven-day patrol.

According to Sector Commander, Clement Oladele, the exercise would begin on Wednesday, saying one thousand personnel, including regular and special marshals, would be deployed across the state to ensure an accident-free celebration.

Oladele said the men would be in Abeokuta, Sango-Ota, Ifo, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ijebu-Ode, Sagamu to mention just a few places.

He implored those driving vehicles without number plates to desist from such act because anyone caught would face the wrath of the law, saying those who drive against traffic and use bad tyres would also face the full weight of the law.

Oladele felicitated with Muslim faithful on the forthcoming celebration and admonished them to be safety conscious.
