Suspect- Truck Driver: Oghoeruke Morrison Oghenero

The hunt is on for a Truck Driver, Oghoeruke Morrison Oghenero, and his motor-boy, Okechukwu Chimieze, all staff of On Target Logistics, who allegedly conspired to set their employer’s truck on fire after diverting and selling off N20million worth of cargo.

According to information gathered from company sources, the driver’s truck was loaded with a forty feet containerized cargo of specially branded and customized Dangote tyres from APM Terminals in Apapa Wharf on Friday, 13^th of January, 2017.

He was supposed to travel in a convoy of other trucks through Ibadan enroute Obajana Dangote Cement Plant in Kogi State. The suspects however diverted the truck to Aviele in Edo State where they sold off the entire cargo comprising of 238 pieces of Dangote customized brand new tyres.

Initial investigation further revealed that the suspects then drove the truck to Elele after Auchi and just before ex-governor Oshiomole’s Village (Iyamho) where they proceeded to set the truck on fire.

Good enough, timely help came from the villagers nearby who assisted in putting out the fire. This was said to have happened on the 17^th of January 2017, exactly 4 days after the driver departed the Port of loading.

The Driver, Oghoeruke Morrison Oghenero, is said to have only spent two (2) years in the employment of the affected logistics firm. He is said to hail from from Ewu in Ughelli South, Delta State.

LOCALLY-ASSEMBLED VEHICLES TO GET SPEED LIMITERS

As part of efforts to reduce the rate of speed-related accidents in Nigeria, the National Automotive Development and Design Council has directed all vehicle manufacturing plants in the country to install the speed-limiting device in their vehicles.
A deadline for compliance on the installation of the device in all vehicles being imported into the country has also been given.
AUTO POLICY CAUSING HIGH MARITIME JOB LOSSES – EXPERT

In a letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, a member of the Presidential Taskforce on Customs Reform, Mr. Lucky Amiwero, has called on the Federal Government to review the policy, due to its negative impact on the economy.
He said, “The impact associated with the implementation of the auto policy is as follows: the diversion of cars carrying vessel to neighbouring West African ports as a result of high tariff on imported vehicles; and the reduction of the maritime workforce by 70 per cent, which affects mostly licensed customs agents, importers, dealers and Nigerians abroad.”
UNDERSTANDING THE HISSING & SQUEAKY SOUND FROM TRUCKS

Ever wondered why trucks and buses make funny squeaking and hissing sounds? Well, the squeaking is the air escaping after braking and the hissing sound is the automatic bypass safety valves at work, ensuring the air pressure remains at the correct level.
Since a main advantage of air-brakes systems is their ability to use air to operate, the compressor is constantly kicking on and kicking off to refill the reservoirs with pressurized air. When the compressor builds too much air, the valves open, producing that loud hiss which probably gets some of us wondering…What the heck is leaking..lol!
SAFETY TIPS! COPING WITH POTHOLES

Hitting potholes can throw your vehicle\'s front end out of alignment. If you feel your car \"pulling\" during driving, that\'s a clue that you could have a problem.

Check the tread on your tyres. Uneven tread wear can be a sign of misalignment. If you hit a severe pothole, have the vehicle\'s alignment and tyre balance checked.

When you hit a pothole you can damage your tyre and/or the metal wheel of your vehicle. Keeping your tyres properly inflated will help reduce damage from potholes and other road hazards.

The impact of potholes on tyres increases dramatically with speed and can cause hidden, internal damage that could lead to tyre failure weeks, or even months, later. It\'s best to avoid potholes entirely, but if that\'s not possible, don\'t brake during the pothole impact. Instead, apply brakes before hitting a pothole and release them just before impact. Braking during the impact sets up the tyre and wheel assembly for a \"solid hit\" against the edge of the hole. Less severe damage occurs when a tyre is rolling than when it is skidding over a hole during braking.
