The Permanent Secretary, of the Plateau State Ministry of Works, Mr Sunday Hyat, has warned people against illegal erection of speed breakers on highways, in a statement made available to Newsmen in Jos.

Hyat said that any persons caught erecting illegal bumps would be prosecuted.

“This illegal activities by communities could cause damage to vehicles, which in some instances could  lead to loss of lives and property and cause more accidents rather than prevent them, ” he said.

He said the speed breakers were not meant to be everywhere on the highways and should never be erected without permit.

The permanent secretary also expressed dismay over the practice where traders convert part of the roads and walkways to markets and displayed their wares.

He warned them to desist from the acts as they were illegal, too.
