The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has commenced investigation into the circumstances surrounding the action of one of its officers who slapped a motorist and smashed the windscreen of his car.
This is according to a statement by Assistant Corps Marshal Bisi Kareem, dated May 17, 2023.
The statement read:
“The Corps Marshal, 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 Command general operational area.
“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.
“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.
“He stated that FRSC is an ISO certified organisation that does not condone indiscipline or compromise standards when it comes to rendering service to the public. As such all necessary disciplinary actions recommended will be administered appropriately”.
