The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Kaduna State Sector Command, said it recovered 28 stolen cars in the state.
FRSC Sector Commander, Kaduna Sector Command, Zubairu Mato said this on Saturday at a Sensitisation and Enlightenment Campaign for drivers ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir festivity in the state.
He said that FRSC would begin enforcement of the vehicle’s proof of ownership to ensure that drivers are original owners of their vehicles.
According to him, motorists should ensure proper registration of their vehicles once the National Vehicle Identification Scheme commences.
“This will enable us to recover stolen vehicles more, one cannot register a stolen vehicle somewhere, he or she will definitely be caught.”
Mato said that the rate of road traffic crashes had decreased in the state, adding about 300 people died in crashes from January to date, which the figure was a decrease if compared to previous years.
He attributed the crashes to overspeeding and neglect of road signs, urging drivers to drive carefully as some parts of the roads were still under construction.
Mato urged the drivers to avoid overspeeding and loading, wrongful overtaking, driving during heavy rain and ensuring their vehicles are in good condition.
