He said the recent accident at the Otedola bridge where many were burnt alive was a sad one, adding that on a daily basis the FRSC patrol vehicles ply that route and that he was relieved none of his men were caught in that traffic.
” that is also a route where we patrol on a daily basis, how about if a patrol team was also trapped in that traffic, we would have been singing a different song now. Our men use to stay on that otedola every now and then, only God knows what would have happened, so we thank God for seeing us through this 2nd quater”.

” Our command still stands as the number one command among all the commands in the Federation so, I think if you ask me, we are on course, there is still much, much work to be done, we are not resting on our oars, that’s why you see us organizing this retreat”.
He said they were determined to improve on their operations, adding that their strategic goals for this year was enhancing professionalism among the operatives.
