Easter: 4 die, 40 sustain injuries as Ogun records 11 road crashes
During the Easter celebration in Ogun State, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) reported that 11 road crashes occurred, resulting in four fatalities and 40 injuries.
Anthony Uga, the State Sector Commander of the corps, disclosed this on Wednesday while briefing journalists in Ota at the conclusion of the 4-day Special Patrol organized for the Easter celebration.
Uga said that the FRSC was able to reduce accidents to the barest minimum through the special patrol, which began on March 29 and ended April 2.
“The massive deployment of our personnel, both Regular and Special Marshals, during the Easter period helped to reduce cases of accidents.
“Our personnel were able to check the excesses of drivers who were fond of flouting traffic rules and regulations, which sometimes resulted in crashes,” he said.
The sector commander appealed to motorists to continue to adhere strictly to traffic rules and regulations, not only during festive periods but at all times.
He reiterated the commitment of the FRSC to continue to collaborate with other sister agencies to make the nation’s highways safer for the motoring public.
