The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has warned passengers against traveling at night during the festive season due to the potential repercussions.

Mr Ibrahim Maiyaki-Bazama, FRSC Sector Commander in Katsina State, issued the warning during a press conference on Friday in Katsina.

“People have freedom of movement, but we as road safety corps, have the mandate to take measures that will assist to minimize road crashes.

“Part of such measures is that we encourage people to stop or minimize night travels.

“This is because when a motorist is driving at night, he cannot see beyond the reach of the vehicle’s light.

“In case of an accident, sometimes helpers are not readily available or it takes time to get those who will assist,” he said.

Maiyaki-Bazama also stated that the command has standby rescue teams ready to go in case of an emergency.

He stated that the teams were at the five command units in Funtua, Daura, Koza, Malumfashi, and Kankia.
