The corps is worried that some motorists are likely to drink and drive and disobey traffic rules during the festive season.
The Ogun state command of the Federal Road Safety Corps says it will apprehend motorists driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs during Easter.
The sector commander of FRSC, Ahmed Umar, in an interview on Sunday, said some motorists were likely to indulge in drinking alcohol, which would make them disobey traffic rules and regulations on the highways during the festive season.
“So, the FRSC personnel would be all out across the state to checkmate driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
“In addition, the FRSC would impose strict punishment on any motorist apprehended or caught driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs,” he said.
Mr Umar enjoined motorists to avoid drunk-driving and imbibe safety culture on the roads to reduce crashes during the Easter celebration.
He added that road usage required common sense, just like social activities.
The sector commander further admonished motorists to adhere strictly to traffic rules and regulations as an action of a driver could affect other motorists directly or indirectly.
