In an official statement shared on its verified Facebook page on Sunday, the agency disclosed that its morning patrol team from the RS12.31 Potiskum Unit Command apprehended a Volkswagen Golf car on March 27, 2025, for overloading.
The FRSC has consistently warned against overloading, emphasizing the dangers it poses to road safety, including increased risks of accidents and vehicle instability.
The statement provided details of the intercepted vehicle: “Make: Volkswagen Golf
“Registration Number: BBU 380 XA

Authorities have urged drivers to adhere to safety guidelines to prevent road accidents and ensure compliance with traffic laws.
