The Sector Commander of the FRSC in Kano, Zubairu Mato, said the deployment would consist of 120 officers, 1250 marshals and 450 Special Marshals.

He further said, “Sixteen patrol vehicles, three mbulances and one heavy duty tow truck will also be deployed for the week-long operation which commences Tuesday May 11, 2021.”

The Managing Director of KAROTA, Baffa Babba Dan’agundi, on his part, warned that, “The agency will arrest and prosecute anyone who violates traffic laws during the season as some unscrupulous persons have made it a habit to engage in dangerous driving,” a statement by the agency’s spokesman, Nabilusi Abubakar, indicated.
