Reduce Night Travelling, FRSC Urges Motorists

The Federal Road Safety Corps(FRSC), Ogun Command, has advised Nigerians to minimise traveling at night, especially as 2019 gets to an end, to curb road crashes. Mr Clement Oladele, Ogun Sector Commander of FRSC, gave the advice in an interview with our correspondent Ota, Ogun. Oladele spoke while reacting to the two accidents that happened on Saturday, claiming nine lives and injuring 12 others on Sagamu-Ijebu Ode-Benin Expressway. According to the Sector Commander, travelling during the day is much safer because visibility is higher during the day. “Thus, the night under the darkness is usually attractive to the criminals to operate and carry out their wicked act,” he said. He said that the advice became necessary as the criminals always had the mindset to carry out their nefarious activities where their chances of not being recognised and escaping were very high.
