During the Eid-el-Kabir celebration in Ogun State, 17 individuals lost their lives in 16 separate road accidents, according to the Ogun State Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC). Mr. Anthony Uga, the Sector Commander of FRSC, disclosed this information in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Ota, Ogun. Alongside the fatalities, 45 people sustained varying degrees of injuries from these incidents.
The sector commander attributed the majority of these accidents to factors such as excessive speed, dangerous driving practices, night travel, and incidents of tyre bursts. He emphasized the importance of motorists adhering strictly to traffic regulations, particularly during the rainy season, to prevent avoidable loss of life.
“We urge motorists to comply with traffic rules and regulations to prevent unnecessary loss of life, especially in this rainy season,” Mr. Uga stated. He further advised drivers to exercise patience and reduce their speed to mitigate the risk of accidents on the highways.
Mr. Uga highlighted that the recently concluded special patrol contributed significantly to reducing road crashes by curbing motorists’ excesses. He assured that FRSC would maintain these special patrols, particularly on critical routes like the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, and across other parts of the state to ensure road safety and preserve lives.
