In continuation of the War Against Overloading FRSC Lagos Sector Command, a dangerously overloaded vehicle was intercepted on Monday the 11th of August, 2025 by the patrol team at about 5:00 pm along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway.
The apprehended vehicle, laden with an excessive number of mattresses, was visibly bent to one side due to the unsafe load, posing a serious risk to both the driver and other road users.
The Sector Commander, Corps Commander Kehinde G. Hamzat, reiterated the Corps’ zero tolerance for overloading of passengers or goods, stressing that such practices compromise vehicle stability, and significantly heighten the risk of road crashes.
Overloading is not only a violation of traffic regulations; it is an open invitation to tragedy,” he said.
FRSC will continue to enforce strict compliance with load limits and ensure that offenders face the full weight of the law.
The arrested vehicle has been impounded while the driver will be prosecuted in line with extant regulations.
The FRSC Lagos Sector Command urges all motorists and transport operators to adhere to manufacturer load specifications and prioritize safety over profit.
