I do not know if this heading is the right brush to paint events of the last one week on various roads across the country. I also do not know how black the remaining weeks of this year’s Ember months will look like. Will there be more avoidable road traffic crashes and deaths? Will the crashes be fewer compared to previous years? Will the crashes be without deaths but minor injuries which has formed the core of the Federal Road Safety Corps’ end of year campaign focus?
These are posers begging for answers. But if the events of the last few weeks are taken or considered as possible precursors, then I must confess that I shudder at how we might end up in 2020. I know that the leadership of the Federal Road Safety Corps under the watch of the Corps Marshal, Boboye Oyeyemi is worried about this trend. The Corps Marshals’ fears and worries were expressed last week when reviewing road traffic crashes that have occurred in the last week.
I have therefore chosen to examine these road traffic crashes this week as we enter the last three months of the 2020 Ember months. Since home is home even when pained, as I am right now, I will begin with the crash that occurred at the Akaeze bridge in Akaeze in Ivo Development Area of Ebonyi State. Incidentally, Akaeze is a stone throw away from my lovely villa, Amasiri in Afikpo North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State. As a Nigerian and an Ebonyi son, I am in a mourning mood over the deaths that occurred close to my home town and other deaths.
