Category: Nigeria News
In a statement by the corps spokesperson, Bisi Kazeem, on Sunday in Abuja, Mr Biu expressed satisfaction over the personnel’s good conduct, honesty and sense of patriotism.
Mr Biu, who applauded them, said the team did not only show professionalism in doing their job but also ensured that the integrity of the corps was protected and promoted at the highest level.
He explained that the recovered amount was returned in the presence of the DPO of Ipetu-Ijesa, Seriki Owena, Ilesa of Benin and the head of the Hausa community.
The FRSC boss commended the patrol team and the entire personnel in the Osun Command, assuring them of continued welfare to the staff across the county.
“I charge every officer to emulate this character exhibited by the team, as good deeds pay off; the road is patient but does not forgive,” he said.
The FRSC boss, who decried the crash, said it would have been avoided if the motorists had adhered strictly to traffic rules and regulations.
The marshal said the multiple road accidents in Ipetu Ijesa, in the Oriade Local Government Area of Osun, had claimed six lives while seven others sustained various injuries.
Mr Biu, however, urged motorists to comply with the traffic rules and regulations to avoid crashes, especially during the Easter celebration.
He assured that the corps would continue to ensure the safety of lives and property while reiterating the commitment of the FRSC to making the road safe for all.
Two commercial vehicles were involved in the accident, and the crash was attributed to dangerous driving and speeding.
Seven people were injured, while six others died.
The injured were taken to Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa, while the corpses of the deceased were deposited at the same hospital morgue.
