Court sentences reckless driver to death for knocking FRSC personnel

According to a statement by the Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem the incident occurred along Ahmadu Bello way in the state Capital, Birnin Kebbi on 3rd April, 2017. Available reports show that the driver, Usman Aliyu drove a Black Toyota Corolla saloon car with the registration number, KLG 342 AA on the said day and initially attempted to knock down Marshal Inspector (III) Abubakar Garba Abubakar of the same patrol team. However, noticing he couldn’t knock him down, he recklessly headed for the deceased and ensured that he knocked him to death as his first target, Inspector Garba narrowly escaped the hit. The accused, who bagged a death sentence on Wednesday, 4th October, 2018 was also reported to have absconded after knocking down his victim to death. However, he got arrested along Kalgo road by men of the Nigeria Police Force after an intelligence tip off. It would be recalled that the Corps Marshal, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi earlier reacted to the incessant killing of FRSC personnel when he lamented that, the Corps has lost 74 personnel to reckless drivers in the last 18months.]]>
