FRSC: 61 killed in 33 road accidents in Borno

According to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), 61 individuals died in 33 traffic accidents in Borno between May and November 2022.

Thursday in Maiduguri, Corps Sector Commander Utten Iki-Boyi delivered this information.

He said that the collisions involved 285 individuals, 46 vehicles, and 151 injuries.

According to Iki-Boyi, a terrible car accident on the Maiduguri-Damaturu road in November claimed the lives of 37 individuals. He claimed that drivers' haste, recklessness, and use of worn-out tyres were to blame for the collisions.

The Sector Commander, therefore, issued a warning to motorists and operators of commercial vehicles to stop using worn-out tires.

He also cautioned drivers against taking too many drugs or driving while under the influence, saying that drug testing devices would soon be available to check all drivers in the state.

“This Ember month period is a period in which a lot of people are travelling, and a lot of vehicles are now moving on the roads because the rainy season has ended; businesses have also picked up, resulting in a mass movement of people.

“I appeal to motorists, particularly drivers of commercial and other vehicles using the roads, to always take it easy. They should always ensure their vehicles are in good shape before embarking on any journey.

“If you are travelling a long distance, you should embark on the journey in good time so that you will not be overspeeding.

“Most incidents we have been recording are due to human error. If all things are to be done according to the recommendation of the road safety corps, I am certain accident and death cases will be minimised to the barest minimum,” he said.
