THE Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Dauda Ali Biu, has on behalf of the management and the entire staff of the Corps, sent his heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased, over the sudden demise of the operatives.

The operatives of the Corps were ruthlessly killed in unfortunate road traffic crashes that occurred in Lagos and Kaduna States while on active service to the nation.

The deceased staff, a Deputy Chief Road Marshal Assistant, DCRMA, A Ajomole, was diligently carrying out lawful patrol duties at Iganmu Bridge, in Orile Lagos State on September 16, 2023 at exactly 1416HRS on the day the sad event happened. While Road Marshal Assistant I (RMA I) Hamidu Idris detailed on patrol activities in Dutse Outpost, Doka Local Government Area of Kaduna State on September 12, 2023 at exactly 0915HRS

Crash investigation reports revealed that on the said day of the Lagos crash, late Ajomole was attending to an offender, who drove a Cabstar (Lagos Taxi), when suddenly, a Mack truck conveying a container lost control and hit the Cabstar he was attending to. The impact of the crash on the Cabstar forced the operative to hit his head on a stationary tanker parked by the roadside and died on the spot.

On the other hand, Hamisu was on his way to impound an arrested offenders’ vehicle, when the driver pushed him out of the vehicle, and hit his head on a stone; a situation that led to his untimely death.
