The Edo Sector Command of the
Federal Road Safety Commission
(FRSC) on Wednesday handed over
N500,160 recovered from an accident
scene to its owner, Mr Adetosin
Sogbona. The Assistant Corp Commander, Mr
Obisike Uchendu, presented the money
and other items recovered to
Sogbona, in Benin on Wednesday. Uchendu said that the FRSC was
committed to protecting the lives and
property of members of the public,
especially on the highway. He said that Sogbona was a victim of
a road accident that occurred on
June 22 on the Benin Bye-Pass, close to
Ikhweniro community at about 3p.m. in
the afternoon. He said that seven male adults, one
female adult and a male child, were
involved in the auto-crash involving a
Toyota Previa car. “A team of FRSC marshals carried out
the rescue mission at the accident
scene and the sum of money was
found in the victim’s bag. “Somebody must identify such victims
before any recovered money or
property is handed over to him or her. “There is no point in carrying huge
sums of money when travelling; money
should be deposited in banks or
carried electronically,” he said. Receiving the money and his
belongings, Sogbona, a cattle dealer,
thanked the FRSC for rescuing him and
protecting his money. He said that he was travelling from
Bayelsa to Ondo when the accident
occurred on the Benin-Auchi Bye-pass. Sogbona, who is currently receiving
treatment in a hospital in Benin, said
he would desist from carrying huge
sums of money when travelling. The leader of the FRSC rescue team,
Mrs Patricia Okonji-Onwochei, said “
I
took an oath when I got the job to
protect lives and property on the
Nigerian roads and highways. “I like being truthful and honest and I
don’t take other people’s
property.’’ (NAN)
