Reckless drivers killed 70 FRSC officials ,says Oyeyemi

The Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Commission, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi, announced on Friday that 70 operatives of the commission were killed by reckless drivers this year.

Oyeyemi, who made the announcement in Abuja at the FRSC end of the year management strategy session said that the FRSC officials were killed performing their jobs.
He said that although the figure was lower, compared to the 160 deaths recorded last year, the trend was disturbing and needed to be addressed.
Oyeyemi said the FRSC had declared war on reckless drivers because such drivers were responsible for about 40 per cent of deaths of officials of the FRSC in active duty.
