He was reacting to media reports of an accident on Friday in Ibadan following a chase by FRSC officers.
Kazeem told NAN that the Corps Marshal of the FRSC, Mr Boboye Oyeyemi, frowned at the incident.
“The Corps Marshal, Mr Boboye Oyeyemi, condemned the act as it is our rule that officers should not chase any erring motorist.
“Rather the vehicle number should be taken and the offender will in no time be arrested through our drivers’ licence portal.
“As a paramilitary agency, investigation must be carried out and if
the officers are found guilty, they will be dealt with accordingly,”
Kazeem said.
