The Ondo sector command of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) says it has recovered an iPhone 16 Pro Max during an operation in the state.

Samuel Ibitoye, FRSC state sector commander, said this on Thursday in Akure.

Mr Ibitoye explained that the phone was recovered on Tuesday at about 9:00 a.m. around Best Solution Polytechnic along Ondo Road in Akure when the personnel of the command were on patrol.

The sector commander, who said FRSC was known for integrity, called on whoever misplaced their phone in the area to come with the proof of ownership.

“I am actually here to inform the public that, as usual, road safety is known for its integrity and for the recovery of things and giving them back to the owner intact.

“So, I use this medium to tell Nigerians and Ondo State indigenes that whoever misplaced a phone around that side should come to the FRSC headquarters, Akure/Ilesha Highway, with evidence of ownership.

“As we all know, the FRSC will never miss anything kept or found during the crashes on the road because we are known for our integrity, and none of our officials ever goes against it,” he said.
