32 killed, 26 injured in three road crashes across Kogi, Ogun, Kwara — FRSC

Three severe road traffic accidents occurred in Nigeria's Kogi, Ogun, and Kwara states, resulting in 32 fatalities and 26 injuries. The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) reported the incidents, attributing them to preventable causes such as speeding, reckless driving, driver fatigue, poor vehicle maintenance, and illegal passenger-cargo transportation. The first crash on Sunday involved a truck and bus in Kogi State, killing seven people. The second crash on the same day in Ogun State saw ten deaths due to speeding and unsafe overtaking. The third incident on Monday in Kwara State resulted in fifteen deaths, primarily because of driver fatigue and the illegal practice of combining passenger and cargo transport. The FRSC expressed condolences to the victims' families and emphasized the need for adherence to traffic laws.

This represents a decline from 212 deaths in the same period in 2025. The number of injured individuals also dropped from 1,121 in 2025 to 1,007 in 2026. Spokesperson Mr. Afolabi Odunsi credited the reduction to public awareness campaigns and strict enforcement of traffic laws. He identified common causes of accidents, such as speeding, drunk driving, and overloading, and urged drivers to comply with regulations to reduce casualties.
