The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has dismissed and disengaged 43 personnel over various disciplinary offences, reinforcing what it described as its zero-tolerance stance on misconduct within the agency.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the Corps Public Education Officer, Olusegun Ogungbemide, disclosed that the affected officers were sanctioned for offences ranging from desertion to scandalous conduct and patrol-related infractions.
According to the statement, 31 personnel were dismissed for desertion, five for scandalous behaviour, while seven were disengaged for patrol-related misconduct.
“In another applaudable development, the FRSC has taken decisive and uncompromising disciplinary action by disengaging 43 personnel from its service over acts bordering on desertion, scandalous conduct, and patrol misconduct,” the statement read.
It added, “These affected officers comprise 31 dismissed for desertion, 5 for scandalous behaviour, and 7 for patrol related misconduct.
“This action, just like others of its kind sends an unequivocal message because, the FRSC badge is a symbol of honour and responsibility. Any officer who chooses to violate the standards of this noble institution will face the full weight of the Corps’ disciplinary machinery.”
Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed described the move as a reaffirmation of the Corps’ commitment to discipline, professionalism and ethical compliance.
He stressed that the FRSC, as a professional paramilitary organisation, would not condone any conduct capable of undermining public trust, institutional integrity or its statutory mandate.
