The Commandant of the outfit, ACP Sa'idu Madawaki, disclosed this at a news conference in Sokoto when he reviewed the outfit's
activities since it took off in November 2014.
He said the accused motorcyclists were
prosecuted and convicted to various jail terms, adding that most of them were arrested for violating traffic lights, routes violation and related offences.
He noted that "some of them were also arrested for assaulting our personnel operating along the various roundabouts and inter- sections in the city.''
The commandant promised that officers of the corps would continue to work diligently to further sanitise the roads.
Madawaki commended the level of cooperation between the outfit and other security agencies in the state.
According to him, the corps has 2,300
personnel deployed to all the 23 local
governments of the state. He said "the 2,300 personnel are categorised into traffic, security and environmental
marshals.
"These officers were given rigorous military training before their deployment in a bid to further secure the lives and property of Sokoto
residents.''
