Appeal Court bans FRSC from operating on states roads

The Court of Appeal in Asaba, Delta State, on Monday, upheld the judgment of a lower court banning the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) from operating on state and local roads in the country.

A Federal High Court in the state had, in 2019, held that the FRSC has no legal right to operate or carry out any activity on roads belonging to states and local government areas.

Darlington Ehikim, a lawyer and member of the Nigerian Bar Association in Delta State, filed the case against the FRSC, Thisday newspaper reported.
