 Oyo road crashes claimed 222 lives in 2024 – FRSC


The Oyo Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps on Friday said 222 people lost their lives in various Road Traffic Crashes in the state in 2024.

The corps disclosed this in Ibadan in its end-of-the-year statistics signed by the Sector Commander, Mrs Rosemary Alo.

Alo said the figure indicated a reduction compared to the 270 deaths recorded in 2023.

According to her, the figures emanated from 304 road crashes recorded in 2024 and 495 crashes in 2023 respectively.

The sector commander noted that the statistics indicated that 779 people were injured in crashes in 2024 compared with 1,321 in 2023.

“1,795 people were involved in road crashes in 2024 while 2,935 people got involved in 2023.

“The number of crashed vehicles reduced to 412 in 2024 from 794 recorded in 2023,” she said.

The sector commander attributed the 2024 road traffic crash data reduction to aggressive stakeholders’ sensitisation programmes and enforcement exercises of the corps in 2024.

Alo added that the corps embarked on inclusive advocacy in 2024, sensitising passengers to always engage their rights to speak out when a driver drives recklessly.

“Initially, the focus has always been on drivers, but now, we are telling passengers to note that more people lose their lives in an accident than the driver.

“So, passengers must not be complacent when the driver fails to obey traffic rules,” she said.

She, however, urged drivers and commuters to always see their safety on the road as a joint responsibility to avoid loss of lives and property.
