Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) said that its operatives had not started carrying guns or any other fire arms whether on patrol or on any other official duty.
In a statement, Corps Public Education Officer, FRSC Headquarters Abuja, Assistant Corps Marshal, Bisi Kazeem, said this information had become very pertinent following the image of an operative who was captured on camera carrying fire arms in a position that suggested he was on official duty.
He said the viral report should be disregarded in totality as it’s just but an old and recirculated image of an overzealous staff who posed with a rifle belonging to a sister agency’s staff in admiration and ignorance in 2018. The said staff has since been punished according to existing maintenance of discipline of the Corps.
The Acting Corps Marshal, Dauda Ali Biu while reacting to the image that was being recirculated had stated that officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps did not carry arms and advise members of the public should disregard the image being recirculated.
He called on the public to desist from believing such fake image as the Corps continued to commit itself to making the roads safer for all to use.
