Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed
The Federal Road Safety Corps has expressed grief over three separate road traffic crashes that claimed 32 lives and left 26 others injured in Kogi, Ogun and Kwara states between Sunday and Monday.
The Corps described the crashes as tragic and largely preventable, blaming them on traffic violations including speeding, dangerous driving, driver fatigue, poor tyre maintenance and the illegal practice of conveying passengers alongside goods.
In a statement on Monday by the Corps Public Education Officer, Deputy Corps Commander Osondu Ohaeri, the FRSC said it sympathised with the families of the victims and wished those receiving treatment a speedy recovery.
“The Corps extends its heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased and prays for the speedy recovery of those currently receiving medical treatment,” the statement read.
