The Adamawa State Police Command has raised alarm over the rising number of fatal and dangerous road accidents across the state’s highways and urban roads.
Investigations indicate that most of these accidents are caused by reckless driving, over-speeding, dangerous overtaking, and illegal road racing involving vehicles and power bikes.
In response, the Commissioner of Police, Dankombo Morris, PSC, has issued a stern warning to motorists, commercial drivers, motorcycle riders, and other road users to strictly follow traffic rules and regulations.
The Police Command has stepped up enforcement of the ban on power bike and vehicle racing on public roads. CP Morris stressed that anyone found engaging in these illegal activities will be arrested and prosecuted under the law.
Officers from the Central Motor Traffic Division (CMTD), divisional police units, and other operational commands have been instructed to increase patrols, surveillance, and enforcement, particularly along major highways, urban roads, and accident-prone areas.
In a statement signed by Police Public Relations Officer Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, the Command urged the public to report reckless driving and illegal racing.
Parents, transport unions, and vehicle owners were also called upon to caution their wards, drivers, and riders on the dangers of unsafe road behavior.
