Gombe records 1,345 road crashes, 98 deaths in nine months – FRSC
The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has recorded 1,345 road traffic crashes in Gombe State between January and September 2026, resulting in 98 deaths and 1,345 injuries.
The Sector Commander of the FRSC in Gombe State, Commander Samson Kaura, disclosed this on Tuesday while addressing members of the state council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, during the 2026 World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims.
Kaura said the number of deaths recorded during the period represented a six per cent increase compared with the corresponding period in the previous year.
“We are concerned about the increase in road crash fatalities, with excessive speeding and reckless driving remaining major causes. In 2025, the command recorded 1,614 road traffic incidents, which claimed 92 lives and left 926 others injured,” he said.
Kaura warned that careless driving continued to endanger the lives of motorists and other road users.
He called for greater responsibility on the highways.
