Ososa River bridges I, II and III in Odogbolu Local Government Area; and Arun and Omo Rivers bridges I and II at J4 area, Ogbere in Ijebu-East Local Government Area of Ogun State.
Mr Isah Seidu, the FRSC Unit Commander in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun, gave the advice during interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ijebu-Ode on Sunday.
“These bridges have become notoriously dangerous for the past three years due to their weakened guard railings which are no longer efficient in preventing vehicles from plunging into the rivers below.
“On Oct. 15, we lost five passengers on board an 18-seater commercial bus heading to Ondo State when their vehicle crashed into Omo river, taking the command four days to recover the corpses.
“Our drivers must curtail their speed when they get to these spots to minimise the risk of crashes and we will also have our men available to signal motorists to slow down before passing”, Seidu said.
