He recently revealed this while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.
According to him, the fact is that the laws guiding road crashes are not stringent enough, and this is why there is a clear need for introduction of stiffer laws such as the Sharia Law into traffic rules.
He added that such measures would instill discipline and encourage respect for traffic rules among motorists.
His words, “Let us introduce Sharia Law into road crashes, and people will wake up. Our people are too careless, and the vehicle owners donβt bother to check them.”
“If we donβt introduce Sharia Law, many road users, especially in this area, would not start thinking twice before doing whatever they want to do.”
“The introduction of Sharia Law will curtail bad behavior, as most of the crashes are due to negative attitudes by motorists and other road users.”
“People donβt want to take a rest; they over speed because they want to make money.”
“If the law is introduced, by the time you are involved in a crash, it would be investigated; the guilty and his family would also be responsible for anything that happens in that vehicle.”
“In a situation where the driver lost his life to a crash, if found guilty, the owner of the vehicle would also be held responsible as it would be revealed that he didnβt do his homework before giving out the vehicle.”
“The extant law is working, however, the extent to which it works is very important because in countries where Sharia Law is being implemented, it guides attitudinal conduct to a level that even relatives and friends guide their relations in terms of what to do or not do.”
