FRSC Sacks 43 Officers Over Misconduct
The Federal Road Safety Corps has disengaged 43 personnel over offences ranging from desertion to scandalous conduct and patrol misconduct, a move the Corps Marshal, Malam Shehu Mohammed, says reflects the agency’s zero-tolerance stance on indiscipline.
Mohammed disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday in Abuja by the Corps Public Education Officer, Olusegun Ogungbemide.
According to the statement, 31 of the affected officers were dismissed for desertion, five for scandalous behaviour, and seven for patrol-related misconduct.
Mohammed said the action sends a clear message that the FRSC badge represents honour and responsibility, warning that any officer who violates the standards of the organisation will face the full weight of its disciplinary system.
He described the decision as a strong reaffirmation of the corps’ commitment to discipline and ethical conduct.
The corps marshal stressed that the FRSC remains a professional paramilitary organisation guided by strict operational standards and would not tolerate any conduct capable of undermining public trust, institutional integrity, or its objectives.
He explained that desertion constitutes a serious breach of service oath and operational duty, especially in an organisation responsible for protecting millions of road users daily.
Mohammed added that scandalous behaviour and patrol misconduct weaken public confidence and contradict the values of discipline, transparency, and service excellence upheld by the corps.
He said the FRSC would continue to strengthen internal monitoring, improve supervision, and promote ethical reorientation across commands nationwide.
The corps marshal assured Nigerians that the management remains committed to building a workforce driven by integrity, discipline, and operational excellence.
He also called on motorists and other road users to continue supporting the corps in its mandate to make Nigerian roads safer for all.
