The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has sent a traffic alert notifying members of the motoring public and general commuters travelling from or to Southwest, through Lokoja-Kabba highway to be mindful of a caving section of the road.

A statement signed by Bisi Kazeem, Corps Public Education Officer, stated in Abuja that the dangerous portion is located between Zariagi and Obajana cement factory.

According to him, the development has led to an obstruction of free flow of traffic as all the concerned authorities are making frantic efforts to carry out emergency repairs to restore the normal flow of traffic.

Kazeem further stated that the Federal Road Safety Corps wants maximum cooperation of the motoring public on this development.

“The Corps will also continue to update the public periodically on further developments on the ameliorative work going on at the failed portion of the road,” he added.
