The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has warned motorists, including drivers of security and government vehicles, against driving against traffic on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, saying offenders will face penalties as repair works continue on the Kara Bridge section.
The Lagos Sector Commander of the FRSC, Kehinde Hamzat, issued the warning on Monday while speaking at the scene of heavy traffic congestion along the corridor. He described one-way driving by official vehicles as unacceptable and an abuse of office.
The FRSC says repairs on the Kara Bridge, announced last week, are expected to last at least two months. The Corps explained that damaged sections of the road have contributed to several crashes, and that two expansion joints are being repaired simultaneously using faster-curing materials.

Hamzat said strategic deployments have been made with support from the Nigeria Police Force and the Nigerian Army to prevent motorists from driving against traffic. He added that some offenders have already been arrested and may face fines or prosecution, while FRSC personnel will remain on duty throughout the repair period.
