Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Dauda Biu, has decried rising cases of knockdown of road marshals during patrol duties.
He spoke against the latest ruthless killing of two operatives of the corps in Lagos and Kaduna states while on patrol assignments at the weekend.
This is contained in a statement on Monday by the Corps Public Education Officer at the FRSC, Assistant Corps Marshal Bisi Kazeem.
He gave some chilling details of the incident and the identities of FRSC operatives killed.

He said, “A Deputy Chief Road Marshal Assistant (DCRMA) A Ajomole, was diligently carrying out his lawful patrol duties at the Iganmu Bridge, in Orile, Lagos State on 16 September, 2023 at exactly 1416HRS on the day the sad event happened; while Road Marshal Assistant I (RMA I) Hamidu Idris was detailed on patrol activities in Dutse Outpost, Doka Local Government Area of Kaduna State on 12 September, 2023 at exactly 0915HRS.

“Crash investigation reports revealed that on the said day of the Lagos crash, Ajomole was attending to an offender who drove a Cabstar (Lagos taxi), when suddenly a Mack truck conveying a container lost control and hit the Cabstar he was attending to.
“The impact of the crash on the Cabstar forced the operative to hit his head on a stationary tanker parked by the roadside and died on the spot.
“On the other hand, Hamisu was on his way to impound an arrested offenders’ vehicle, when the driver pushed him out of the vehicle, and hit his head on a stone; a situation that led to his untimely death.
“As a result of the rising spate of these unfortunate incidents involving the deceased and others who faced similar fate in recent times, Dauda Biu also reiterated his call for caution amongst patrol operatives in the discharge of their duties.” He also used the opportunity to warn drivers of all categories of vehicles to observe all traffic rules and regulations as well as avoid bad road use behaviours that trigger crashes on our roads.
The corps marshal also sent his heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased, on behalf of the management and the entire staff of the corps, over the sudden demise of the operatives.
