The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has disengaged 43 personnel from its service following their involvement in acts bordering on desertion, scandalous conduct, and patrol misconduct.
In a Thursday statement signed by Assistant Corps Marshal Olusegun Ogungbemide, the Corps Public Education Officer, the affected officers comprise 31 dismissed for desertion, five dismissed for scandalous behaviour, and seven 7 dismissed for patrol-related misconduct.
According to the statement, these actions send an unequivocal message against the FRSC badge, which is a symbol of honour and responsibility.
The Corps warned that any officer who chooses to violate the standards of this noble institution will face the full weight of the Corps’ disciplinary machinery.
The Corps Marshal, FRSC, Shehu Mohammed, described the action as a bold reaffirmation of the Corps’ zero tolerance stance against indiscipline and ethical violations.
He stressed that the Corps remains a professional, paramilitary organisation guided by strict operational standards, and will not condone any behaviour capable of undermining public trust, institutional integrity, or the set objectives of the Corps.
The Corps Marshal revealed that desertion represents a grave breach of service oath and operational responsibility, particularly in safety critical organisation entrusted with protecting the lives of millions of road users daily.
He further noted that scandalous behaviour and patrol misconduct directly erode public confidence and contradict the core values of discipline, transparency, and service excellence, which the Corps upholds.
The FRSC reassures Nigerians that it will continue to intensify internal monitoring, strengthen supervisory frameworks, and promote ethical reorientation across all Commands nationwide.
The Management reaffirms its resolute position in building a professional workforce driven by integrity, discipline, and operational excellence
The Corps, therefore, calls on the motoring public to sustain their confidence in FRSC and to continue supporting its mandate of creating safer roads for all.
