The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Ogun Command, says ten persons died in ten road crashes during the Eid-el-Fitri Special Patrol in the state.
Anthony Uga, sector commander of FRSC in Ogun, told journalists on Friday in Otta that 41 other persons sustained varying degrees of injuries from the crashes.
Mr Uga said the ten people who died comprised eight males and two females, while the 41 injured were 22 males, 15 females and four male children.
The sector commander said they were able to stem cases of accidents to the minimum level through the special patrol operation which began on April 8 .
“Most of the road crashes recorded during the Eld-el-Fitri Celebration were caused by excessive speed and tyre burst.
“We are appealing to motorists to reduce their speed as most of the accidents could have been avoidable if the drivers used good tyres and adhered strictly to the average speed limit,” he said.
Mr Uga implored both commercial and private vehicles to install speed limit devices and refrain from using expired tyres to minimise road crashes to the barest level in the state.
