Yusuf Abdullahi who was addressing members of the Special Marshall of the Sector at the FRSC Base during their end of the year meeting said that, “I am very sorry to say, but the fact is that, the devil has taken over our roads in Bauchi State. We really need to stand up and do something to reclaim the roads”.
He said that, “the situation is so terrible, in the month of November, it was a case of one death per day because we had not less than 35 deaths from accidents across the state. This is worrisome and disturbing, something has to be done quickly”.
Yusuf Abdullahi added that, “on the Bauchi – Kano road, we had accidents that claimed over 15 lives involving lone accidents as well a Keke NAPEP which had a lone accident before an oncoming Sharon ran into it” .
A visibly worried Sector Commander also said that, “on the Bauchi – Jos highway, we had a few head on collision accidents involving mass transit buses which claimed not less than 15 lives with some of them burnt to ashes”
