The FRSC Sector Commander in the state, Olusegun Ogungbemide, said in a statement on Friday that the command had watched the video that surfaced on social media and condemned the incident totally.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday.

“The command has, therefore, directed a full investigation into the authenticity of the viral video and the source of the cow to forestall future occurrence.”
He, however, charged livestock owners to ensure their animals are prevented from causing distractions to motorists plying roads in the state.
The FRSC official also advised road users to be more vigilant on the expressway.
