A commercial vehicle driver, identified as Ekpe Okpo Ekpeyong, who stripped naked in an attempt to evade arrest by officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Cross River State, has been arrested.
The road safety agency disclosed that the driver would be made to undergo a psychiatric test before being prosecuted.
Ekpeyong, who was stopped by the corps on Tuesday, had alighted from the vehicle, stripped himself naked and started behaving funny to the amusement of the FRSC officials and those around.
While reacting to the arrest, the state Sector Commander of FRSC, Ikechukwu Igwe, said the command had gone through its database and discovered that Ekpeyong’s driver’s licence and vehicle particulars were not genuine.
Igwe further stated that Ekpeyong would be taken to the Psychiatric Hospital, Calabar to ascertain his mental state before been prosecuted.
