Ujah was apprehended by the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in the state capital in August for alleged Route Violation (RTV), Road Obstruction (ROB), Obstructing Marshal on duty (OMD) and Dangerous Driving (DGD).
He was sentenced with an option of ₦23,000 fine after being found guilty.
Reacting, State Sector Commander, Adeoye Irelewuyi stressed that the Corps’ interest said Route Violation amounted to dangerous driving.
He warned motorists to desist from driving against traffic or face being convicted and serving jail terms or paying a N50,000 fine.
“The Corps is not interested in the fines imposed on the offenders but in saving lives and property of all motoring public in Nigeria.
“All these are corrective measures the Corps has put in place to avoid indiscipline by road users,” Irelewuyi added.
