The FRSC said its attention has been drawn to the recent pictures of the alleged
drunken state of Personnel of the Federal Road Safety Corps during working
hours and in uniform, making rounds on blogs, online and conventional media.
The Corps wishes to assure Nigerians that FRSC remains an
organization that does not condone indiscipline on the part of its workforce,
nor cover up for their inadequacies, whether Officers or other ranks
(Marshals).
The alleged Marshals whose photographs were taken at Tarzan
junction, close to Onitsha have been identified as operatives of the Corps from
Nteje Unit Command under the Anambra State Sector Command.
The Marshals were deployed for traffic control and monitoring for
the Easter Special patrol at Tarzan junction close to Onitsha. They have been
recalled for administrative and disciplinary action at Anambra State Sector
Command, Awka, being the Command that supervises the affairs of the Nteje Unit
where they served on the directive of the Corps Marshal, Dr. Boboye Oyeyemi,
who abhors indiscipline in all ramifications.
As soon as the administrative panel dispenses with their case,
concerned Nigerians will be notified of the appropriate disciplinary actions
taken on them.
The agency wish to thank all Nigerians for their concern and use
this medium to once again reiterate that road safety is everyone’s business,
hence any inadequacies from members of the Corps that is reported by members of
the public would be taken seriously and not be covered up.
