The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has recovered a double-barrel gun from the scene of a road traffic crash along the Awka-Enugu Expressway in Anambra State, with the weapon subsequently handed over to the Nigeria Police Force for investigation.
The firearm was discovered on Friday during a routine inventory of victims’ belongings by an FRSC rescue patrol team after completing rescue operations at the crash scene.
According to a statement issued by the Corps Public Education Officer, Deputy Corps Commander Osondu Ohaeri, the gun was found concealed among luggage inside one of the crashed vehicles.
The statement said the rescue team immediately secured the weapon in line with the Corps’ operational procedures to prevent unauthorised access or misuse, adding that it was handed over to the police after no claimant or valid documentation for the firearm was presented.
