The Ogun Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps has reported that four persons died, while 40 others were injured in 11 road crashes during the Easter celebration in the state.
The State Sector Commander of the corps, Mr Anthony Uga, told the Newsmen on Wednesday in Ota, after a four-day special patrol organised for the Easter celebration.
Uga said the FRSC was able to reduce accidents to the barest minimum through the special patrol, which commenced on March 29 and concluded on April 2.
“The extensive deployment of our personnel, both Regular and Special Marshals, during the Easter period contributed to the reduction in accidents. Our personnel effectively curbed the tendencies of drivers who habitually flout traffic rules and regulations, which often led to accidents,” he said.
While appealing to motorists to continue adhering strictly to traffic rules and regulations, not only during festive periods but at all times, the sector commander reiterated the commitment of the FRSC to maintain collaboration with other sister agencies to ensure the safety of the nation’s highways for the motoring public.
