He also said during the exercise, five landmark crashes defined the outcome of the number of road traffic crashes, fatalities, as well as injuries recorded.

He said: “these crashes which were primarily caused by overloading of trailers with a combination of passengers, goods and animals, speed violations, and night trips occurred as follows: On 23 December, 2023, at 1208HRS in Kwanar Malamawa, Jigawa State, a collision between a Toyota Camry and Volkswagen Golf 3 led to the death of ten people, on 25 December, 2023 at 06:35am in Inisa, Osun State a lone crash that involved a Mitsubishi Canter resulted in the death of 09 victims and on 01 January, 2024 at 01:35am in Kakia, Katsina State, also in the dark hours of the day, a lone crash involving Peugeot J5 Bus led to the death of nine people. In the same vein, on O2 January, 2024 at 04:50am in Aiyere, Kwara State, another DAF Trailer collided with a Hiace Bus leading to the death of 11 people, while on 03 January, 2024 at 19:50pm in Sabon Wuse, Niger State, a crash involving a DAF Trailer and a Hiace Bus led to the death of 19 people.

“From these five crashes alone, a total of 58 victims were killed out of the 335 deaths recorded and all deaths were recorded as a result of night trips. This alone represents 17 per cent of the total deaths recorded within the 2023 outing period.”

The FRSC Corps Marshal further said, “on annual performance, from January to December 2023, the Corps recorded tremendous reduction in road crashes, fatalities, as well as injuries
when compared to the data obtained in 2022.

“From 1 January to 31 December 2023 a total of 10,617 road traffic crashes were recorded across the country. This figure is against 13,656 of 2022 which represents 22 per cent decrease.
