The Adamawa State Police Command has expressed serious concern over the increasing number of fatal and dangerous road accidents across the state’s highways and urban roads.
Investigations reveal that most of these accidents are linked to reckless driving, over-speeding, dangerous overtaking, and illegal road racing involving both vehicles and power bikes.
In response, the Commissioner of Police, Dankombo Morris, has warned motorists, commercial drivers, motorcycle riders, and other road users to strictly adhere to traffic rules and regulations at all times.
The police command has also intensified enforcement of the ban on power bike and vehicle racing on public roads in the state.

The police commissioner emphasized that anyone caught participating in these illegal activities will be arrested and prosecuted under the law.
“Officers from the central motor traffic division, divisional police units, and other operational commands have been directed to increase patrols, surveillance, and enforcement, especially along major highways, urban roads, and identified accident-prone areas,” the command said.
In a statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, the command appealed the public to assist by reporting reckless driving and illegal racing.
It urged parents, transport unions, and vehicle owners to caution their wards, drivers, and riders on the dangers of reckless road behavior.
