Crashes: 85 people die within 6 months in Edo – FRSC

Gombe state state sector command of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), recorded “motor accident free” Ed-el Kabir, the sector commander, Malam Ibrahim Abubakar, has said.

Abubakar made the disclosure on Tuesday in Gombe in an interview with our reporter.

He attributed the development to series of sensitisation campaigns embarked upon by the command.

“Our sensitisation campaigns yielded positive result; that was why we recorded crash free sallah.

“Since I came to Gombe state two months ago, we have not recorded any serious crash.

“Thank God the sallah celebration has come and gone, it was hitch-free no crash recorded.

“I am appealing to motorists to sustain the tempo by desisting from any act capable of causing crash,” he said.

Abubakar appealed to parents not to allow minors to drive their vehicles or motorcycles.

He advised the people especially the youths, not to consume psychotropic substances before driving.

“Even if you take drugs for cold or cattarh that can cause drowsiness, it is not permissible to drive,” he said.

The commander said that since the country is still in the rainy season, motorists should ensure that their wipers and lighting system are functional.

“Motorists should also ensure they drive at reasonable speed.

“What makes you a good driver is arriving your destination safely,” he said.
