As the yuletide approaches, Alamutu urged all road users, especially those travelling on the Lagos-Ibadan highway, to exercise caution and avoid engaging in reckless driving that posed risk to themselves and others.
Alamutu advised them to avoid speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, overloading, use of faulty tyres or lights, driving against traffic, not wearing seat belts and participating in speed competitions.
