The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has commenced an investigation into the tragic road accident that claimed the lives of 22 athletes and officials from Kano State, who were returning from the 2025 National Sports Festival held in Ogun State.

The fatal crash occurred in Dakatsalle while the delegation was en route back to Kano after participating in the national event.

FRSC Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed, represented by the Zonal Commanding Officer in Kaduna, Assistant Corps Marshal Ahmed Umar, disclosed this during a condolence visit to the Kano State Government House.

“Road traffic crashes don’t just happen; they usually occur because of human error, or environmental reasons or a mechanical failure,” Umar said on the visit.

He assured the state government that the findings from the investigation would be made public upon conclusion.

Meanwhile, Kano State Deputy Governor Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo, who received the FRSC delegation, expressed gratitude for the corps’ prompt response and intervention.

On Monday, a meeting of EU foreign ministers reportedly approved a 16th package of sanctions against Russia while saying a swift casefire that favors Moscow will not be accepted. However, Hungary, whose leader Viktor Orban has remained close to Russian President Vladimir Putin and has persistently complicated EU efforts to support Ukraine, said it will not back further sanctions.

US officials met their Russian counterparts last week, while Trump and Zelenskyy have embarked on a bitter spat via the media, with the US leader accusing Kyiv of starting the war and questioning the Ukrainian president’s legitimacy. Trump’s peace plan, which appears designed to illustrate his self-appointed role as a global dealmaker, faces resistance on both sides. Russia said on Monday that the quick end to the war is “unacceptable”. A ceasefire without a long-term settlement “is the path to a swift resumption of fighting and a resumption of the conflict with even more serious consequences, including consequences for Russian-US relations,” Moscow’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said, according to the state-run RIA Novosti news agency. Meanwhile, Ukraine signalled on Sunday that a contentious proposal that would hand Washington $500bn worth of profits from Ukrainian rare minerals has now been taken off the table, and that talks on a different deal are progressing. Zelenskyy also told a forum in Kyiv that he would resign his post if that meant peace was achieved.
