Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Corps Marshal Dauda Biu has issued a warning against transporting dangerous substances like gas cylinders in passenger vehicles.
The caution was issued in a statement released on Saturday in Abuja by Bisi Kazeem, Corps Public Education Officer.
In order to prevent accidents on the road, Biu also cautioned motorists against driving too fast.
The actions were required, according to the corps marshal, to preserve lives.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the warning was sent in response to the deadly crash that occurred on Friday in Osun just across from Mat Oil, Ode-Omu.
