The corps’s Head of Operations in the state, Mr Anthony Ogbodo, told newsmen in Awka on Wednesday that the suspect, a 36-year-old driver, was arrested on Onitsha-Awka Expressway.
According to him, the suspect was arrested by an FRSC patrol team led by Mr Ugochukwu Ogbonna.
Ogbodo said that the team made the arrest when it stopped a black Nissan Primera, with registration number BEN468HP, for seat belt violation.
“Our patrol team earlier set out to book the driver for seat belt violation; on close inspection, it noticed five girls inside the vehicle; this raised its suspicion.
