The Federal Capital Territory Police Command yesterday said it has directed its officers to embark on enforcement, arresting anyone found to be violating the ban on car and speed races in Abuja. The Public Relations Officer of the command, ASP Josephine Adeh, said FCT Commissioner of Police, Sunday Babaji, has directed divisional police officers to ensure full enforcement of the ban in their respective areas. She said: “The CP gave the enforcement order following public outcry on the menace of recklessness, risk to lives, damages to personal property and critical national infrastructure and imposed hardship in traffic navigation caused by illegal car racing, acceleration contests, speed competitions or test of physical endurance, among others, in the FCT. “The CP noted that Section 228 of the National Road Traffic Regulations, 2012, is clear on the prohibition of any car race, drag race, acceleration contest, test of physical endurance, exhibition of speed, etc.
