Ogun: FRSC Deploys 32 Patrol Vehicles, Ambulances, and Tow Trucks Ahead of Sallah Celebration

To curb road traffic crashes and RTCs and to keep traffic flowing smoothly during the Sallah holiday, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Ogun State Sector Command has stepped up its operations across the state.

According to DAILY POST, the command has stationed 32 patrol vehicles, six motorcycles, three ambulances, and two tow trucks on key corridors throughout Ogun.

In a statement signed by the command’s spokesperson, Odunsi Afolabi, Corps Commander Oludare Ogunjobi said the deployment was intended to increase visibility patrol, provide rapid rescue response, enforce traffic control, and strengthen the enforcement of traffic regulations during the festive period.

Ogunjobi urged the public to take responsibility for their safety by steering clear of reckless driving, dangerous overtaking, overloading, speeding, using mobile phones while driving, drunk driving, and other violations that can lead to crashes on highways.

He added that speeding beyond the approved limit remains a major cause of road crashes and warned that any driver found violating traffic regulations would be arrested and prosecuted accordingly.

“As we celebrate Sallah, I urge all motorists to make safety their top priority. Avoid speeding, dangerous driving, and drunk driving. Obey traffic rules and cooperate with traffic officers deployed across the highways,” he said.

“Let us all remember that no journey is worth the loss of a life. Drive with care and arrive alive,” he added.

The Sector Commander also stressed the importance of patience and discipline among motorists and other road users, reiterating that road safety is a shared responsibility.

He called on all stakeholders—transport unions, fleet operators, and passengers—to support the Corps in achieving a crash‑free festive season.
