The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has alerted motorists to a traffic obstruction along the Kano–Zaria Road around Kafin Maiyaki Junction in Kiru Local Government Area of Kano State following a crash involving a trailer conveying metal scraps.
The incident, reported to the FRSC on Friday, November 13, 2026, was attributed partly to driver fatigue, according to preliminary findings by the Corps.
In a traffic advisory signed by CRC Abdullahi Labaran, Public Education Officer of the FRSC Kano Sector Command, officers from Zebra 54 Kariya were deployed to the scene to control traffic and coordinate efforts to clear the affected section.
The Corps said the transloading of metal scraps from the damaged trailer was ongoing before the removal of its main body from the roadway.
Motorists were advised to exercise patience, reduce their speed, maintain safe distances and obey traffic instructions from FRSC personnel.
“Where possible, drivers should consider alternative routes to avoid delays,” the advisory stated.
The Command apologised for the inconvenience caused and appealed for the cooperation of road users while efforts continued to restore normal traffic movement.
