"The commission has mandated that the traffic offenders should be prosecuted in court to serve as deterrent to other road users, especially this period of ember months. And one of commission’s strategic goals is the enforcement of road traffic laws and regulations through prosecution of offenders in mobile court. The mobile court was set up as part of the steps to reduce road crashes as well as creating safer environment for the Nigerian roads as the year ends."
