Mr Agwu said the FRSC special intervention patrol operations apprehended 19 trailers carrying 810 people on the Abuja-Kaduna expressway.
Mr Uga said the FRSC reduced crashes through the special patrol, which began on March 29 and ended on April 2.
FRSC corps marshal Dauda Biu has directed the Kogi sector command to investigate the multiple crashes in Obajana, Kogi.
The sector commander said that the goal of the corps was to reduce road traffic crashes.
The FRSC official said the accident happened when a truck suffering brake failure veered off the road and rammed into pedestrians on the bridge’s walkway.
He said the FRSC had met with animal dealers in the Kara area of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway to inform them of the dangers.
According to him, the road ahead holds new challenges and responsibilities.
Mr Eshiet said that the blood pressure, sugar level and other vital signs of the arrested motorists were checked.
Five victims were burnt beyond recognition.
Mr Irelewuyi said that the probable cause of the accident was speeding and loss of control.
