The Kaduna State Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps said it prosecuted 2,362 traffic offenders between April 2 and May 4, 2021.
Its Sector Commander, Mr Hafiz Mohammed, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Kaduna on Saturday that the command is disturbed by the spate of traffic rules violation among motorists in the state.
According to him, the special intervention patrol was necessitated by the need to stem the tide of traffic law infractions within the metropolis and highways.
He said the infractions often led to deaths or life-threatening injuries with a negative impact on human and material resources.
He expressed regret at the spiral effect of road crashes on the state’s socio-economic growth, saying that victims of road crashes were often found within the productive age categories of 17 and 45 years.
The sector commander added that such crashes always had immeasurable negative effects on society and the economy, as most families were left traumatised by the loss of loved ones and their breadwinners.
