Police in crackdown mode for the violation of traffic lights in the crossroads and roundabouts of Yaoundé
Before the repressive operation instructed by the head of the corps, Martin Mbarga Nguele, General Delegate for National Security (Ggsn), the situation was alarming. It was easy to see motorists violating traffic lights regardless of the damage it could cause. It seems that many drivers currently in Yaoundé have forgotten or have no regard for the respect of traffic lights. This is why at the beginning of the operation, "we were 57 tickets on the first day and more than two weeks later, the numbers are starting to drop," said the chief police commissioner Christophe Fokwa Mikem, chief of the Service Control Brigade at Dgsn. Last Friday, the elements of the National Security have therefore stormed the various intersections of the city of Yaoundé to fight against incivism on public roads and to get drivers to comply with the Highway Code. The operation was instructed by Dgsn and started on July 08th. "In Yaoundé, they do as they please. Which is at the origin of several traffic accidents. The chief of the corps thus asked that one puts an end to it "continues the police commissioner. Thus, for the perfect success of the operation to extend over the entire territory, the Regional Group of public roads and traffic for the Center does not work alone. The police of the police is on the ground, to counter the inclinations of influence peddling and corruption. CCTV is also used to demonstrate that the police have eyes everywhere.
