The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) on Monday said that its personnel have not started carrying guns or any other firearms whether on patrol or other official duty.
According to the commission, it has become pertinent to inform the public following the image of an FRSC operative who was captured on camera carrying fire arms in a position that suggests he was on official duty.
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 the existing maintenance of the discipline of the Corps
The Acting Corps Marshal, Dauda Ali Biu while reacting to the image that is been recirculated has stated that officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps does not currently carry arms and advise members of the public should disregard the image been recirculated.
The public is by this publication called to desist from believing such fake image as the Corps continues in commiting itself to making the roads safer for all to use.
