Christmas/New Year Traffic: Asaba/Onitsha Bridge Police Checkpoints To Go

To allow for free traffic, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has joined the Nigeria Police Force commands in Anambra and Delta states to remove checkpoints on the Asaba/Onitsha end of the River Niger bridges  from today January 18, 2024 till January 10, next year.

Spokesperson of the FRSC, Assistant Corps Marshal Olusegun Ogungbemide, said in a statement on Tuesday that they would also establish mobile surveillance at the Second Bridge axis, dismantle Police checkpoints on the Delta side of the Old Niger Bridge to facilitate free trafficking flow, as well as adequate deployment of officers for joint traffic control on the two bridges.

He said the partnership was reached following a “critical session” by the Sector Commander, Anambra State, Corps Commander Joyce Nnennaya Alexander, and the Anambra State Police Commissioner, CP Nnaghe Obono Itam and his counterpart in Delta State, CP B. S. Oluwafemi.

Ogungbemide said the Corps Marshal of the FRSC, Shehu Mohammed, had applauded the Sector Commander for the synergy.
