The decrease is attributed to a heightened police presence on the roads, implemented in response to an uptick in serious incidents. Police Commissioner Ali Shujau affirmed that this enhanced visibility will be ongoing. Additionally, the police department plans to increase the number of frontline officers and ensure a police presence on the streets every five minutes, aiming to further improve road safety and reduce accidents.
