The Federal Road Safety Corps, FCT Sector Command, has returned over N1 million and other valuables to the family of an accident victim, who lost his life in a ghastly car crash.
Speaking, during a news conference on Friday in Abuja, the Sector Commander, Mr Muta’a Chorrie commended the Unit Command for their transparency and diligence in recovering and returning the items.
NAN reports that the accident occurred on June 11, at the Ido junction, on the Airport -Giri road, Abuja.
The reports said during the rescue operations, three people died and one of them, Najim Babalola, a student of the College of Education (COE) Zuba, owned the bag, the money and other items.
Chorrie said that the event was a testament to FRSC’s commitment to integrity and its mandate to serve the public with compassion and transparency.
He explained that a thorough investigation was conducted to ensure the items were genuinely owned by the deceased.
He named the recovered items as; a bag, two POS machines, five ATM cards, a techno phone, a power bank, a rechargeable lamp and over 1 Million cash.
“The deceased was a young promising man. I want to commend the unit command for the level of transparency they displayed.
“As soon as they recovered the bag, they hid it so that some other people would not claim it. The rescue team reported to the command immediately.
” We were careful because people take advantage of situations like this.
It took us long to do our investigations before the handover of the money.
“This is the tradition of the FRSC. Whenever valuables are recovered, we take our time to investigate. We commiserate with you.”
