Abuja Traffic Offender Gets One-Week In Jail For Dangerous Driving

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has secured the conviction and sentencing of one Obi Emeka Uduka to one week imprisonment at the Suleja Correctional Centre for dangerous driving and other related traffic offences.

Uduka was apprehended on 10 September 2026 at about 1200HRS during a Mobile Court operation at the Dutse Alhaji Unit Command of the FRSC, FCT Sector Command, while driving a Pontiac Vibe. He was arraigned before the Mobile Court on charges bordering on Dangerous Driving (DGD), Driving Licence Violation (DLV), Vehicle Licence Violation (VLV) and Resisting Arrest. Following his trial, His Worship Theresa, presiding Magistrate, found him guilty and sentenced him accordingly.

It is to be stated that the Corps views dangerous driving and other acts capable of compromising the safety of road users as serious offences, as such, will always ensure that all traffic violators receive necessary sanctions. This conviction, just like others of its kind, further demonstrates the Corps’ resolve to ensure that motorists who wilfully endanger lives on the nation’s highways are brought to justice in accordance with the law.

The Corps therefore reiterates its appeal to motorists to obey traffic regulations, exercise caution and demonstrate responsible behaviour at all times. The safety of every road user remains a collective responsibility, and the FRSC will continue to deploy education, persuasion and lawful enforcement measures to promote discipline and save lives on Nigerian roads.
