The sector commander said that the truck lost control due to excessive speeding and hit a female adult standing beside the road, resulting in the death of the victim.
“The corpse of the victim had been deposited at Ifo General Hospital, Ogun,” he said.
The FRSC boss warned drivers against restless driving and urged them to always conduct a routine check on their vehicles to ensure that the brake system was functional before putting them on the road.
Uga, however, commiserated with the family of the deceased and prayed that God would grant them the fortitude to bear the loss.
