“In addition to the rescue conducted, a sum of N8.6 million was recovered at the accident scene.
“The entire amount belongs to the owner of the red Toyota Corolla, while arrangements are being made for him to fully recover before handing over the money to him.”
Nadabo said the Kaduna FRSC would continue to engage all the relevant and critical stakeholders in advocating and creating more awareness on safety.
He added that the FRSC would not relent in its call for motorists to work with the corps in addressing the menace of road traffic crashes in Kaduna State.
The commander appealed to motorists to imbibe the culture and conduct of safe driving particularly through townships and the highways.
Nadabo, who appreciated the Kaduna State Government for its support to FRSC activities in the state, also commended the media for aligning with FRSC’s values in propagating safety always.
