The FCT Sector Commander, Mr Muta’a Chorrie, revealed this in an interview with newsmen on Tuesday in Abuja.

According to the sector commander, non-use of seat belts, use of phones while driving, and overspeeding were the major causes of accidents during the operation.

He said the Corps would be embarking on another special patrol operation in 2024 in the territory.

He further said the experience during the 2023 end-of-the-year special patrol operations propelled the Corps to commence another.

This, he said, would not only check excesses of users of mobile phones but would also reduce incessant road traffic crashes in the six area councils.

“The special Operation is tagged ‘Operation Falcon Speed Mobile Control’.

“This will help check all the things that cause road accidents and curb to the barest minimum, “ he said.
