FRSC Bans Use of Goggle Map While Driving in FCT

Mr. Ayuba Gora, sector commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Federal Capital Territory has said that driving with the aid of Google map using mobile phones is a serious traffic offence.
Gora said this at the inauguration of the 2019 Ember Months Campaign by Lugbe Unit Command of the FRSC in Abuja.
According to him, the law forbids motorists from using mobile phones in any form while driving, as it can lead to accident.
He also informed motorists that the corps would soon begin massive enforcement of installation of speed limiting devices.
Gora advised motorists, especially commercial vehicle operators, who have yet to install the device to do so to avoid sanction.
“We will embark on massive checks of vehicles without this device soon and arrest those that disconnect the devices from their vehicles.
“It is very important that all vehicles have the device installed.
“The required speed limit for commercial vehicles, even on the highways, should not exceed 90 km/hr for buses and taxis.
“By doing this today, we are simply reminding motorists that they must drive with care and observe traffic rules and regulations in order to make the job very easy for all of us.
“If you are arrested at this period, you will not just pay fines but must be taken for emotional evaluation test in the hospital to ascertain your mental fitness before we let you go,” he said.
He urged the public to dial 122 or 112 in case they notice unusual behaviour by road users and in the event of an accident.
Gora debunked speculations that the device damages car engine, saying it had nothing to do with engine, but only cuts fuel supply during attempted speeding.
Mr. Martins Ohiani, Lugbe Unit Commander, said it was necessary for all road users to obey traffic rules and regulations and avoid overloading.
Mr. Abdulłahi Diwa, divisional traffic officer, Nigerian Police Force, Lugbe Division, called for cooperation among law enforcement agencies to achieve greater results collectively.
Mr. Yakubu Abdullahi of the directorate of Road Traffic Services, Lugbe Command, appealed to FRSC to make such campaigns quarterly and not just during -ember months, citing the increase of road crashes in the country as reason for the plea.

SEC Probes Ponzi Scheme Linked to FF Tiffany

The Securities and Exchange Commission has revealed plans to commence investigation into the activities of an entity operating under FF Tiffany, allegedly running a fraudulent investment scheme that has defrauded citizens.
A statement by the SEC on Tuesday in Abuja said preliminary information revealed that the scheme, which promised investors unusually high and unrealistic returns, had resulted in the loss of several billions of naira.
The SEC said it viewed the activity as a threat to investor confidence and the overall integrity of the financial system.
The commission assured the public that it was working closely with law enforcement agencies and other relevant bodies to bring everyone involved in the unlawful operation to justice.
According to SEC, those found culpable will be prosecuted in accordance with the Investment and Securities Act and regulatory provisions.
SEC reiterated its earlier warnings to the general public to desist from engaging in Ponzi or unregistered investment schemes that promised guaranteed or exaggerated returns.
“These schemes are not registered with the SEC and do not offer investor protection under the law.
“The commission is currently investigating 79 schemes and will make a statement on its findings at the conclusion of the investigation,” the SEC said.
The commission encouraged investors to conduct due diligence and verify the registration status of any investment firm or product by visiting the SEC website or contacting the commission directly through official channels.
SEC said it remained committed to its mandate of protecting investors, ensuring fair practices, and maintaining confidence in Nigeria’s capital market.
