Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Twenty persons died and 36 were injured in separate auto crashes involving Toyota Hiace buses in two weeks in Kogi, a Federal Road Safety Corps official has disclosed.<\/p>\n

Corps Commander Samuel Oyedeji, Kogi Sector Commander, FRSC, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lokoja on Thursday that the fatalities were from three separate accidents.<\/p>\n

He described the fatalities within just two weeks as very worrisome and unfortunate, considering the efforts of the corps to reduce road crashes on highways.<\/p>\n

The sector commander explained that the most worrisome was the accident of September 3 that left 12 killed and 6 injured, when an 18 seater Toyota Hiace bus collided with a Howo Sono Truck along Obajana\u2013Lokoja road.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dead victims were given mass burial at the Central Mosque Obajana, while the injured were taken to First Nation Orthopedic Hospital Zariagi for medical attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe property of the victims and the vehicle are in custody of Police (MTD) at Obajana Police Division.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn Sept. 10, we had a lone accident involving a Toyota Hiace bus, which left five persons dead and 15 injured at Zango, close to Chukwumereje Roundabout within Lokoja metropolis.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust on Sept. 13, three persons lost their lives again while 15 were injured at Omoko village along Abujai-Lokoja road where another Toyota Hiace bus lost control and crashed at around 10:30 a.m.,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The FRSC Commander said that joint rescue patrol teams of Abaji, Zebra 16 Abaji and Zebra 13 Gegu, were at Wednesday\u2019s accident scene and rescued the 15 injured victims.<\/p>\n

According to him, the injured were rushed to General Hospital, Abaji and Ayaura Comprehensive Hospital, Abaji.<\/p>\n

He said that the three corpses were deposited at the mortuary of Abaji General Hospital.<\/p>\n

Oyedeji, who attributed the causes of the accidents to speeding, overloading and poor vehicle maintenance culture by motorists, called for caution to stop the carnage and save the lives of innocent citizens.<\/p>\n

He further advised motorists to stop night journeys and ensure strict adherence to traffic rules and regulations, to avoid unnecessary road crashes on highways.<\/p>\n
