On Tuesday, 30th December 2025, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Justice, Ogun State, Mr Olusegun Olaotan presented dashboard cameras and breathalyzers under the auspices of the Road Safety Advisory Council, to support road traffic management and enhance enforcement operations within the state.
The equipment was provided to enhance evidence gathering and strengthen the prosecution of road traffic accident cases. The dashboard cameras are designed to capture live audio-visual recordings from both the front and rear views of operational vehicles, thereby ensuring accurate documentation of incidents, improving transparency, and supporting factual decision-making during investigations and court proceedings.
The breathalyzers will assist in detecting alcohol impairment among drivers, in line with existing road safety regulations.
In his response, the Acting TRACE Commander General and Chief Executive Officer, Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency (TRACE), Commander Elias Omonayajo, emphasized the importance of the intervention, particularly considering recent road traffic incidents across the state. He noted that the introduction of dashboard cameras would provide reliable, real-time evidence, reduce disputes arising from traffic incidents, and further enhance professionalism and accountability in TRACE operations.
Commander Omonayajo expressed appreciation to the Ogun State Government, the Ministry of Justice, and the Road Safety Advisory Council for the initiative, describing it as a strategic step towards improving road safety and justice delivery. He reaffirmed TRACE’s commitment to the proper deployment and effective utilization of the equipment in line with extant laws and the agency’s mandate to safeguard lives and property on Ogun State traffic corridors
