The General Manager of the Traffic And Indiscipline Management Agency Of Abia State (TIMAAS), Comdr. Bright Chinedu Ikeokwu, has directed the immediate stop to the impounding of vehicles for wrong turns within the Osisioma, Brass, Ezikwu, and Bata Junction areas, pending the completion of the installation of the signage at the appropriate locations.
This was contained in a statement signed by him, which he also directed the immediate suspension of four officers for various unprofessional conduct.
The suspended officers were seen deliberately watching the motorists take a wrong turn so as to apprehend them instead of directing them appropriately.
Such unprofessional conduct is against the ethics of TIMAAS, whose mandate is not to inflict anyone with pain but to restore discipline and ensure we have a free flow of traffic in the state.
Comdr, Ikeokwu also noticed with total dismay the continuous infringement and duplication of duty by some miscreants that parade themselves as local Government Taskforce.
He called on the LG Chairmen of Aba North and South to call these boys who claim to work for them to order, as his agency will no longer tolerate further molestation of motorists by them.
The TIMAAS boss stated that while his agency is continuing with the installation of signs at strategic places in the city, his officers will henceforth begin assisting road users to know what is expected of them instead of waiting for drivers to contravene the law.
All officers of TIMAAS and those that claim to be working under genuine local governments, especially in Aba North, should please take note.
