Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A man, Nasiru Gwallaga, has been found guilty of committing the crime of burning down a patrol vehicle of the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, in Bara village of Kirfi Local Government Area of Bauchi State in 2023.<\/p>\n

The Sector Commander of FRSC in the state, Istifanus Ibrahim, who disclosed the development in an interview with newsmen on Friday, said that the convict was charged to pay the sum of N150 million, representing the value of the burnt vehicle, to the FRSC in the state.<\/p>\n

According to him, Gwallaga and two other accomplices were also sentenced to one year imprisonment or a fine of N15,000 respectively for conspiracy to commit obstruction, obstruction of civil servants, and assault of public servants while on duty.<\/p>\n

He explained that the trio were convicted and sentenced by Justice Safiya Doma at the Chief Magistrate Court, Fadama Mada, Bauchi State, on June 23, 2025.<\/p>\n

The FRSC boss added that Gwallaga was also found guilty of causing bodily harm to FRSC staff and was to pay the sum of N170,000 for damaging a Samsung Galaxy phone belonging to the then Acting Unit Commander (UC).<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the convicts were ordered to pay N50,000, representing the cost spent in prosecuting the case by the nominal complainant.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Judge ruled that they have a right of appeal to the High Court of Justice within 30 days of the judgment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will serve as a deterrent to those who take the law into their own hands.<\/p>\n

\u201cMembers of the motoring public are advised to be law-abiding as we are not enemies, but compatriots on the road to save lives and property,\u201d said the Sector Commander.<\/p>\n
