The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Dauda Ali Biu, has directed the immediate recall of the patrol team that was captured on camera behaving in a manner tantamount to incivility against a member of the public within Egbeda Unit’s general operational area in Oyo State command.
The Corps Marshal’s action followed the viral video circulated on social media which showed FRSC official hitting a motorist who was recording the scene as he accused the personnel of breaking his windscreen.
In a statement by the Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem, an
Assistant Corps Marshal, it was said that “the provocative act as captured on camera is a complete contravention of the Federal Road Safety Corps’ standard operating procedures for officers on patrol operations.”
Continuing, he said: “In that regard, the Corps Marshal has directed the Corps Intelligence Office, as well as the Corps Provost Office, to commence with immediate effect, a full and comprehensive investigation into the entire circumstances that propelled the officer into the uncivil act and make necessary recommendations for swift administrative action.”
Stating that FRSC is an ISO-certified organisation that would not condone indiscipline or compromise standards when it comes to rendering service to the public, the spokesman said that all necessary disciplinary actions recommended would be administered appropriately.
