The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC in Ogun, has vowed to prosecute any drunk drivers who knock down pedestrians while crossing the road.

Akinwumi Fasakin, the FRSC Ogun Sector Commander, told the News Agency of Nigeria on Sunday in Ota, that such acts of drunk driving would not be tolerated in the state.

Mr Fasakin was reacting to an accident in which a drunk driver knocked down two pedestrians along the Epe area of Lagos State on Saturday.

Mr Fasakin also warned motorists against drinking while driving and urged them to refrain from excessive speed that could lead to unnecessary loss of life.
