Shehu Mohammed, the Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), has said that in the past one month, the agency recorded three landmark crashes which resulted in the death of 91 people.
In a press briefing after meeting with stakeholders in Abuja, Mr. Mohammed said the crashes included one that occurred in Niger State on the 8th of September this year which claimed 48 lives, another in Sabon Wuse on 12 September which claimed 18 lives as well as another in Kaduna State on 15 September, claiming 25 lives.
While stressing that the record calls for concern as the three crashes could have been avoided, he frowned at the pervasive recklessness of some road users despite the government’s efforts at providing and maintaining transport infrastructure in accordance with global best practices.

Mohammed therefore directed commanding officers of the corps to ensure round the clock enforcement of traffic offences so as to mitigate the excesses immediately, stressing that a special patrol operation will be instituted and enforcement would be carried out nationwide.
