Rainy season: TRACE urges motorists to exercise patience at construction zone

The Ogun Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE) has appealed to motorists to exercise patience and refrain from reckless driving at construction zones to minimise crashes.
TRACE divisional commander, Mowe-Ibafo axis, Mr Ojuoro Olusola, made the appeal in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday, in Ota, Ogun.
Olusola urged motorists to drive with caution by reducing speed to the minimum level because of the slippery tarred roads, especially during this rainy season to prevent avoidable accidents.
“We are appealing to motorists to shun speeding as the roads would be slippery during the rainy season.
“In addition, they need to exercise patience at diversionary areas where construction works are ongoing to avoid unnecessary mishaps,” he said.
Olusola stressed the need for motorists to ensure that the brakes of their cars, wipers, trafficators, headlamps and others were functional.
He further advised motorists to park their vehicles while traveling during heavy rainfall.
Olusola also admonished them against night travel because of poor visibility to avoid ramming into stationary vehicles to avoid loss of lives and property. (NAN)

Opposition no longer safe with recruitment of Osun PDP members into Amotekun – APM

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Osun State has raised concerns over the alleged recruitment of members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the state’s Amotekun Corps, claiming it threatens the safety of opposition members.
In a statement issued on Friday, APM Chairman, Mr. Adewale Adebayo, criticized the recruitment process, alleging that non-PDP applicants were deliberately screened out. He warned that Amotekun, originally created to enhance security, was being turned into a political tool.
“We are disturbed by the protest by well-meaning Osun residents who applied but were deliberately excluded because they are not PDP members,” Adebayo stated.
He further alleged that over 1,000 PDP members had been recruited into the corps, describing it as an attempt to silence opposition voices. According to him, the recruitment exercise was merely a formality to cover up a pre-arranged selection process favoring ruling party members.
APM has called for the resignation of the Corps Commandant and Field Commandant of Amotekun, demanding an apology to the affected applicants and the people of the state. The party insisted that the security outfit must remain apolitical to maintain public trust.
Neither the Osun State Government nor the leadership of Amotekun has responded to the allegations as of the time of this report.
