The Federal Road Safety Corps has recovered N8.62 million during a rescue operation following a road accident on the Zaria-Funtua Road in Kaduna State.
The corps spokesperson, Olusegun Ogungbemide, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.
The crash, which occurred around 7 pm on September 30, involved a Nigerian Army Ford pickup truck and a speeding Toyota Corolla.
According to reports, the Toyota Corolla, with registration number KTN 316 HK, was speeding in violation of the legal limit when the driver lost control and collided with the Ford pickup, registered as FST 134 FX.

During the rescue operation, the FRSC personnel found and recovered N8.62m from the scene.
The Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, commended the rescue team’s swift response and professionalism in handling both the injured and the recovered money.
“The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Shehu Mohammed, has applauded the rescue team of the corps who successfully recovered the sum of N8.6m during a rescue operation that was carried out at the scene of a road traffic crash in Kaduna State,” the statement read in part.

This highlights the critical role of road safety and the efforts by the FRSC to manage these tragic situations. Let’s hope more awareness will lead to fewer accidents on our roads. It’s also important to remember that poorly maintained Old Car Buyers in Canberra can often contribute to road hazards.
