The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) officials in Port Harcourt, Rivers state have been called out by a twitter user “Port Harcourt Cab Man” for allegedly deflating the tyre of a woman rushing to take a pregnant woman in labor to the hospital.
According to the poster, they did that because she refused to pay them a bribe of 20K.
See what he wrote below:
” Look at road safety officials, extorting my elder sister because she refused to part with 20k. Her offense was because she was rushing a pregnant woman that was in the throes of giving birth to the hospital. “
” They had to puncture her tire all in an attempt to stop her from taking the woman to the hospital. Is this what they are supposed to do on the roads? “
” She wasn’t speeding. They said the woman should have been on her seat belt and the lady told them she can’t use seatbelt as she is currently having severe cramps and rushing to the hospital. Is that enough reason for them to deflate her tires? “
