The Federal Road Safety Corps in Rivers State said it would not hesitate to shut down motors parks in Port Harcourt and its environs that continually flout extant guidelines aimed at curbing the spread of the COVID-19.
The FRSC Sector Commander in Rivers State, Salisu Galadunci, handed down the warning while speaking with newsmen in Port Harcourt, the State capital.
Galadunci said the corps has observed with dismay that many passengers have refused wearing facemask before leaving their homes to travel, saying it would work with relevant agencies to ensure such attitude was stopped. He urged the motor park operators to take the warning seriously.
