Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, says it lost about twenty-seven patrol vehicles to the October #EndSARS protest..

Corps Marshal, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi, made the disclosure when he visited the Lagos State Command to assess the extent of damage done to its properties by hoodlums pretending to be protesters.

According to him, the agency witnessed the highest level of vandalism in Lagos State around Oko-Afo, Lekki and at our Ojodu Berger Headquarters.

Adding, he says it is colossal, as he counted it myself thirteen vehicles were burnt and three were vandalised in Lagos alone.

According to him, the unfortunate incident has crippled the patrol activities in some areas especially in places like Lagos, Edo, Delta, Imo, Osun, Enugu, Adamawa and Anambra states where some offices were burnt.

The FRSC boss said issuance of drivers’ licences had been put on hold in some states as a result of the vandalism of the offices.

Oyeyemi added that FRSC personnel were returning to their duty posts in droves after the protest, but that the officers were still facing challenges of hostilities by road users.

“To put a patrol vehicle on the road now will cost about N24 million. It is costly, but I have forwarded my reports to the Secretary to the Federal Government and he has promised to act on them.

“I enjoin Nigerians to be modest when they are doing things; the level of damage is too much; the money meant for other activities will now be diverted in repairing some of this burnt offices,’’ Oyeyemi lamented.
