According to him, " the Federal Road Safety Corps will not stop at ensuring the prosecution of those errand drivers. It is my responsibility to ensure the safety of my personnel on the highway, so if you knock my personnel, and you are running away, I will go after you.Oyeyemi therefore warned drivers to desist from such unlawful and inhuman act and always ensure that they operate within the ambit of the law.
