Head of Rescue Unit, VIO, FCT, Dominic Ajim, said: “What are the routine check-ups we meant here? Vehicles must be serviced, tyres must be checked to ensure they’re not worn out or expired and the braking system and the lighting system must be okay.”

Deputy Corps Commander, FRSC, FCT Command, Anume Osuamkpe, said the stakeholders’ collaboration would help to curb incidents of road crashes.
