Mr Akinwunmi Olaluwoye, the Commander of the FRSC Idi-iroko Unit issued the warning in Ota, Ogun State on Tuesday.
Following the accident that claimed six lives and caused two injuries at Olokuta area of Idiroko-Ota Expressway on Monday, the Commander said it had become necessary to issue the warning so as to ensure such tragic incident never happens again in the State.
Mr Olaluwoye believes the unfortunate accident could have been prevented if the drivers had obeyed traffic rules and regulations.
He said: “We lost those victims to the crash on Monday because of the nonchalant attitudes and speeding on the part of the two drivers.
“Once again, we are appealing to motorists to obey traffic rules and regulations by reducing their speed and over-loading to stem crashes on the highway,”
• Drivers should avoid unnecessary overtaking and driving against traffic which is becoming common due to impatience
