The Anambra state command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Tuesday, returned a sum of N716,800 cash to the son of a woman killed in an auto crash in the state.
The owner, Mrs Oparaocha, died in a ghastly accident that occurred on March 22, 2020 along Onitsha-Owerri expressway, Ozubulu in Ekwusigo local government area of Anambra state.
The sector spokesperson, Mrs Florence Edor, who stated this in a statement disclosed that the sum was handed over to the deceased Mr Chibueze Oparaocha by the Assistant Corps Commander and Oraifite unit commander, Bamidele Ayanwale.
“The Unit Commander in Oraifite said the amount was recovered when the FRSC officers went on a rescue mission after the occurrence of an accident. Ayanwale said the money belonging to late Mrs Oparaocha was returned to her Son, Mr Chibueze Oparaocha, after a written undertaking with full identification by the Unit intelligence officer.
“According to him, they contacted the relatives through the mobile phone of the victim. The FRSC boss said the ghastly motor accident involved a Nissan Bus with registration number LSH517YG and a truck with registration number GGU83XA. Seven persons – three males and four females were involved in the crash that happened on March 22, at Ozubulu. The driver and a passenger in the bus later died.
“The FRSC boss, who said that the crash occurred because of speeding, however, urged motorists to always be patient when driving on the highways in order to avert loss of lives and property. Chibueze Oparaocha, son of the decease, thanked the FRSC for their kindness and honesty,” she said.
