The money, which was in different denominations, was recovered at the scene of an accident involving Ajayi.
Handing over the money to the deceased’s family at the FRSC office in Ore, Mike Arinzeagu, the Unit Commander in Ore, said that the accident occurred at 7:15 p.m., on October 16 on the Ore–Ondo road.
He said that the accident involved a Peugeot 504 station wagon and a Ford Focus car.
Arinzeagu said that only Ajayi died in the accident, which involved two commercial motorcycles.
The commander urged motorists to always exercise patience while driving and to watch their speedometers to know when they are exceeding the speed limit.
Emmanuel Ajayi, the deceased’s brother, who represented the family, said that Nigeria would have become a better place if all Nigerians acted like the FRSC.
He said that although money could not be commensurate to the soul, the “Good Samaritan’’ spirit which the FRSC had exhibited was commendable.
“In spite of the heavy heart, I still thank the FRSC for their demonstration as good citizens of the country worthy of emulation,” he said.
Temidayo Akinnibosun, one of the three survivors in the accident, said that the accident was a mystery to him and he could not recount how it happened.
“It is unfortunate that I lost my brother, Ajayi, but I thank God for sparing my life and the FRSC rescue team who quickly rushed us to the hospital,” Akinnibosun said.
