According to him, 198 persons were injured while 110 persons died in the crashes.
He explained that most of the crashes were caused by overspeeding, overloading, use of old tyres and night travel.
“FRSC is committed to achieving set objectives in line with the 2021 Corporate Strategic Goals of the Corps,” Mohammed said.
Mohammed said the command would continue to improve on road safety awareness and enforcement of traffic rules and regulations to reduce road crushes to the barest minimum. (NAN)
