FRSC Loses Ogun Sector Commander Days After Ex-Chief Dauda Biu’s Death

 

The Federal Road Safety Corps has suffered another loss with the death of its Ogun State Sector Commander, Corps Commander Oludare Ogunjobi, following a brief illness, barely a week after the death of former Corps Marshal Dauda Ali Biu.

The Ogun State Sector Command announced Ogunjobi’s death in a statement issued on Sunday and signed by its Public Relations Officer, Chief Route Commander Afolabi Odunsi, describing the development as a major loss to the corps and the wider road safety community.

Ogunjobi’s death comes amid mourning within the FRSC over the passing of Biu, who died on October 11, 2026, at the age of 62. Biu served as the corps’ seventh substantive Corps Marshal from July 2022 to May 2024, having risen through the ranks after joining the organisation in 1988, according to a Punch report.

The successive losses have brought renewed attention to the people behind Nigeria’s road safety administration, whose responsibilities include traffic law enforcement, public enlightenment, emergency response and efforts to reduce road crashes across the country.

In its statement, the Ogun Command said Ogunjobi would be remembered for his leadership, commitment to road safety administration and dedication to the FRSC’s mandate.

“His passing is a great loss to the Corps, his colleagues, and the entire road safety community. He will be remembered for his service, leadership, commitment to road safety administration, and dedication to the mandate of the Federal Road Safety Corps,” the statement said.

The command noted that the late sector commander contributed to efforts to promote safer roads, strengthen public enlightenment campaigns, deepen engagement with stakeholders and improve compliance with traffic regulations during his service.

The command expressed condolences to Ogunjobi’s family, loved ones, colleagues and associates, while acknowledging the pain caused by his death.

It added that further information on funeral arrangements would be communicated in due course.

“His demise is deeply regretted,” the statement said, praying for strength for the bereaved family, the corps and others affected by the loss.
