Fatal Keffi Road Accident: Driver Avoiding FRSC Patrol Causes 6 Deaths

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Nasarawa State has confirmed a fatal accident on the Keffi‑Akwanga expressway that claimed the lives of six passengers and left three others injured.

According to FRSC Sector Commander Yahaya Sabo‑Adiku, the crash occurred around 10:20 a.m. on Thursday when a Toyota Sienna space bus attempted to evade inspection by FRSC officials. Instead of complying with the patrol team’s request to stop, the driver sped off, lost control, and collided with another vehicle, resulting in the deadly crash.

“The accident was caused by the recklessness of one of the drivers who refused to stop for our patrol team. In trying to avoid arrest, he crashed into another vehicle,” Mr. Sabo‑Adiku stated.

The FRSC used the incident to remind motorists that safety officials are partners in road safety, not adversaries. The Corps urged drivers to cooperate with inspections to prevent similar road accidents that often result from reckless driving and traffic violations.

The FRSC continues to emphasize strict adherence to road safety rules, warning that non-compliance during patrols can lead to catastrophic accidents. Drivers are encouraged to view FRSC personnel as allies in ensuring highway safety.
