Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has advised commercial motorcyclists, operating on Idiroko-Atan-Sango-Ota roads in Ogun, to always use their crash helmets to minimise accidents on the highway.
The Idiroko Unit Commander of FRSC, Mr Akinwunmi Olaluwoye, gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Ota to commemorate the `Global Safety Week’.
Olaluwoye said that the advice had become necessary, following incessant cases of accidents involving commercial motorcyclists, which, he said, had become worrisome.
He noted that many of the crashes involving motorcyclists on Idiroko road were due to the faults of the riders.
