Road accidents fall by 14% in Kogi, says FRSC

The Federal Road Safety Corps Kogi Command, has said that there was a reduction of 14 per cent in road crashes in the state in 2023.

FRSC however said that it recorded 58 auto crashes in which 28 persons died during the 2023 yuletide.

The sector commander, Samuel Oyediji,  disclosed this to journalists on Friday, in Lokoja.

Oyedeji said that the casualty figure was a 14 per cent decrease, compared to, the 2022/2023 period, adding that there was, however, an increase in RTCs from 50 to 58.

He explained that the considerable reduction in the number of persons killed in the road traffic crashes was due to a series of measures put in place by the command during the ‘Operation Zero Tolerance’ of the corps.
