Residents of Rivers State have reacted to the recent statement made by the Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi via the Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kaseem urging motorists and passengers to desist from night trips considering the risks and rising cases of fatalities recorded in recent times at nights.
