The Police arraigned two drivers at an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court, Lagos weeks back for stealing 723 empty crates of beer valued at N950,000.00 from Fafem Haulage Nigeria Ltd.

The defendants, Taiwo Adebayo, 35 and Bolaji Babalola, 27, both drivers for Fafem Haulage Nigeria Ltd, were arraigned on two counts of conspiracy and stealing.

The defendants, who pleaded not guilty to the charge, were granted bail in the sum of N200,000 each with two sureties in like sum.

The prosecutor, Insp. Ezekiel Ayorinde, told the court that the defendants committed the offences at Fafem Haulage Nigeria Ltd at No. 469, Lagos Abeokuta Expressway, Abule-Egba, Lagos on February 10, 2016.

Ayorinde said they conspired with others still at large and stole the empty crates.

“The transport company had loaded one of their trucks with 723 crates of Nigeria Breweries’ Goldberg beer and asked the accused to deliver them (the crates) to customers at Ibadan in Oyo State.

“Investigations revealed that the accused delivered the goods and diverted the empty crates to an unknown destination,’’ he said.

Ayorinde said the offences contravened Sections 285 and 409 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.

The New Agency of Nigeria reports that Section 285 prescribes a three-year imprisonment for offenders.

The Chief Magistrate, Mrs. O.J. Awope, adjourned the case for further hearing.

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.
