The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Abia Sector Command, announced the deployment of 927 personnel to enforce road safety across the state during its 2026 “Ember Months” campaign.
Sector Commander Mrs. Ngozi Ezeoma disclosed the strategy during a news briefing on Monday in Umuahia, outlining that the team consists of 500 regular marshals and 427 special marshals.
The deployment, supported by seven patrol vehicles, three administrative vehicles, an ambulance, and a tow truck, targets major highways, crash-prone locations, motor parks, and major traffic junctions across the command’s five units.
Focusing on the theme “Overloading and Mix-Loading: A Dangerous Trend to Avoid,” the campaign addresses hazardous practices alongside excessive speed, drunk driving, lane violations, and mobile phone usage while driving.
The operational plan runs in two phases through January 15, 2027, featuring enforcement, public enlightenment, free medical screenings for commercial drivers, and strategic surveillance to curb misconduct and ensure zero tolerance for corruption.
