Anunobi said the governor, has expressed concerns on the lapses inherent in the transport sector.

He added that, to stop it a toll-free number would be provided to the members of the public to report any misconduct of traffic officers, while a monitoring team would be set up to arrest touts impounding people’s vehicles, especially those forcefully collecting vehicle plate numbers.
