Senator Karimi Urges Action On Road Safety After Fatal Crash In Lokoja, Mourns the Victims

Senator Sunday Karimi, representing Kogi West, has called for immediate government action following a tragic trailer accident on Felele Road in Lokoja that claimed the lives of four students and left three others injured.

The senator extended his condolences to the families of the victims and urged both federal and state governments to address the frequent accidents on the hazardous stretch of road.

He highlighted the urgent need for stricter traffic regulations and enhanced safety measures to protect students of nearby institutions, including Kogi State Polytechnic and Federal University Lokoja.

“It is with profound sadness that I extend my heartfelt condolences to the families and loved ones of those who tragically lost their lives in the devastating trailer accident in Felele, Kogi West Senatorial District, this evening,” Senator Karimi said.

The accident has reignited concerns over the high rate of trailer-related crashes on Nigerian highways. Senator Karimi attributed the problem to poor road design, inadequate traffic management, and reckless driving.

“This tragic incident underscores the urgent need for heightened caution and adherence to safety standards on our highways. I strongly advise against reckless driving and urge drivers, operators, and all road users to strictly follow traffic and safety regulations to prevent unnecessary loss of lives,” he stated.

The senator’s comments echo growing frustrations among Nigerians over the government’s handling of road safety. Many have called for stricter enforcement of traffic laws, better road infrastructure, and increased driver education.

As families and students mourn the loss of young lives, Karimi insists that authorities must take concrete steps to prevent further tragedies.

He urged the government to prioritize effective road safety measures, including improved signage, stricter speed regulations, and enhanced monitoring of heavy-duty vehicles on accident-prone routes.

“The safety of road users must be a top priority. We cannot continue to lose innocent lives due to preventable accidents,” he stressed.
