Kwara:FRSC Assures On Accidents’ Reduction

The Sector Commander, Kwara Command of the Federal Road
Safety Commission (FRSC), Mr Christopher Ademoluti, said 139 automobile
accidents were recorded in the state between January 2010 and June 2012.

He stated this last Saturday in Ilorin, in an interview with
our correspondent.

Ademoluti said that the accidents claimed 67 lives, while
380 people were injured.

The sector commander said the command was working round the
clock to reduce the number of accidents in the state and would continue to work
with other stakeholders and agencies to improve road safety consciousness.

He warned motorists in the state, especially commercial vehicles
operators, against over-loading, over-speeding and dangerous driving.

Ademoluti advised the people to always make use of the 122
emergency number provided by the FRSC whenever there is disaster in any part of
the state to enable the commission act promptly.
