The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Ogun Sector Command, has reported 80 road crash fatalities and the arrest of at least 11,717 traffic offenders between January and March 2026.
The Sector Commander, Akinwunmi Fasakin, disclosed this on Friday, noting that the figures reflect both progress and ongoing challenges in road safety enforcement.
According to Fasakin, fatalities dropped from 98 in the first quarter of 2025 to 80 in the same period of 2026. Similarly, the number of injuries decreased from 488 to 366, while the total number of people involved in road crashes declined from 1,582 to 1,172.
