Therefore, Acting Marshal Dauda Biu of the agency has urged vehicle drivers to ensure their vehicles are in order before taking them out onto the road to avoid accidents, especially at night.
He said “Crashes at night are more fatal than those in the day but the corps will continue in its effort at constantly engaging the motoring public nationwide through aggressive awareness and sensitization campaigns until the desired result is achieved.JAMB Result
