The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Kano has deployed 1,470 personnel to ensure a hitch-free Eid-el-Fitr in the state.
The state FRSC sector commander, Ibrahim Sallau-Abdullahi, made this known in a statement by the command’s spokesperson, Abdullahi Labaran, on Monday in Kano.
The corps said five ambulances, 25 patrol vehicles, one heavy-duty tow truck and other operational equipment have been deployed on major routes and highways to facilitate effective, smooth operations.
The corps said the special patrol operations would run from Monday to April 13.
The sector commander said the personnel included 1,244 regular marshals and 236 special marshals on major routes.
He said the marshals would ensure safe, smooth vehicular movement and traffic control and give prompt attention to victims of road traffic crashes during the festive period.
“Station officers in the 44 local government areas within the state are also fully involved in the operations.
“Unit commands, ambulance service points, and a roadside clinic located along Kano-Zaria road will work around the clock to ensure the safety of lives and properties in the state,” he said in the statement.
He further explained that mobile courts will be deployed to address traffic regulations infractions swiftly.
The sector commander added that it is important to synergise with other security agencies and stakeholders to enhance effectiveness.
Mr Abdullahi said the enforcement targets for the Eid-el-Fitr special patrol include excessive speeding, dangerous driving, lane indiscipline/route violation, road obstruction, using a phone while driving, and overloading, among others.
The sector commander wished the general public a happy and accident-free eid-el-fitr celebration.
