7 PERSONS KILLED IN KANO CRASH, NOT 30 AS REPORTED

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has clarified reports surrounding the recent road traffic crash in Kano State, confirming that seven (7) persons lost their lives in the incident, contrary to media reports claiming 30 fatalities.

In a statement by the Corps Public Education Officer, Segun Ogungbemide, the Corps wishes to also state that the figure was established through on-the-spot assessment and verified rescue operations by its operatives, urging the public and media organisations to rely on officially confirmed information to avoid misinformation and undue public anxiety.

Preliminary investigation by the Corps attributed the cause of the crash to Speed Violation which eventually led to Loss of Control.
