Eid-el Kabir: 17 die in 16 road crashes in Ogun

Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC)

The Ogun Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), said that 17 persons died in 16 road crashes during Eid-el Kabir celebration in the state. The Sector Commander of FRSC, Mr Anthony Uga, gave the figure in an interview with newsmen on Friday in Ota, Ogun.
Uga said that 45 persons also sustained various degrees of injuries from the crashes.
The sector commander said that most of the accidents were caused by excessive speed, dangerous driving, night travel and tyre burst, among others.
“We are appealing to motorists to adhere to traffic rules and regulations to prevent unnecessary loss of life, especially during this rainy season.
“In addition, they should exercise patience and reduce their speed to reduce disaster on our highway,” he said. The sector commander said that the special patrol also helped to minimise road crashes, because the commission was able to check excesses of motorists.
He said that FRSC would continue to sustain the special patrol, especially on Lagos-Ibadan expressway, and others part of the state to ensure that lives are safe on the road.
