Yusuf was said to have alighted from his red Toyota Corolla with number plate Yobe AA-440-GJB, and attacked Atanda. When contacted, the Chairman, FCT Ministerial Traffic Management Team, Ikharo Attah, confirmed the incident. He condemned the assault on the DRTS officer and urged uniformed personnel to always comply with traffic rules.
Attah said, “The incessant attacks and assaults on traffic officers by uniformed men are very disturbing. On the Nyanya, Kubwa and Dutse Alhaji roads, traffic officers are daily being assaulted by uniformed men.“Experience has shown that once uniformed persons drive against the traffic, they are easily followed by civilians, who initially may be afraid to do so.”All rights reserved.
