According to the report signed by the FRSC Corps Marshal, Mr Boboye Oyeyemi, the July death figure represents an increase of 122 or 41 per cent over that of June. In June, the FRSC recorded 738 accidents nationwide leaving 301 persons dead and 2,157 others wounded. The latest report said the accident cases and persons injured in July were also higher than those of the previous month by 30 and 182 or 4 per cent and 8 per cent respectively.

However, the report also stated that Abuja, Nasarawa State and Kaduna are the major cities with the highest occurrence of road accident in Nigeria. Therefore Road users in these cities are advised to take safety precautions and imbibe "Road Usage Ethics" so as to cut down the unusual experience.
