FRSC Corps Marshal Orders Investigation Into Negative Video Of Passenger Dangerously Dragging Steering Wheel To Evade Impoundment Of Vehicle
The Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has taken keen notice of a recent video in the social media space, as well as other publications in the mainstream media; alleging that one of its staff was involved in a physical altercation with a passenger over the steering wheel in the cause of impounding the vehicle of an apprehended traffic offender.
While expressing disappointment and obvious concern over the incident, the Corps Marshal has directed the Sector Commander within whose operational jurisdiction the incident occurred, to carryout extensive investigation and forward the report to the national headquarters within 48 hours.
According to the Corps Marshal, the Federal Road Safety Corps will take the allegation seriously as thorough investigation to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the incident have commenced in essence.
From the preliminary investigation report forwarded to the Corps Marshal, the incident happened along Asaba Ogwashi-ukwu route within the Asaba Sector Command general operational area, on 23rd August, 2024.
The vehicle, a Toyota Sienna bus was flagged down for necessary checks by the patrol team after which the driver was found guilty of driving a commercial vehicle without an installed speed limiting device. A traffic offence that necessitates impoundment of the vehicle.
In an attempt to carryout the impoundment, the lady struggling the steering with the driver who was just a passenger in the vehicle refused to come down for the arresting Marshal to sit in front in conformity with standards for vehicles impoundment.
To put the records straight, the public should note that irrespective of the fact that the woman acted in a dangerous kind of way that would have resulted in a crash, the Corps will still go ahead to ensure that rules of engagement remain sacrosanct and if found guilty, the staff involved will face disciplinary action in line with our zero-tolerance policy for misconduct.
Pursuant to that, the Corps wishes to assure the public that because it values the trust and confidence of the public, it will not condone any behaviour that compromises our integrity. In that regard, the Corps will remain committed to providing excellent service, ensuring safety on the road, and upholding the highest standards of conduct among its personnel.
To that effect, the Corps Marshal humbly appeals to the public to continually report any instances of misconduct or unprofessional behaviour by FRSC staff to the Corps through the FRSC Mobile Application or call the 122 for immediate action.

Bayelsa: Ex-agitator calls on security agencies to investigate community leader’s murder
A Niger Delta ex-agitator, Mr Endurance Amagbein, has urged the security agencies to investigate the alleged murder of the Igbomotoru Community Development Committee (CDC) Chairman, Mr Goodnews Manash, in Bayelsa.
Amagebin made the call in a statement by his Media Assistant, Mr Mightywind Dudafa, on Wednesday in Abuja.
Amagbein expressed shock over the alleged killing and called on security agencies to bring the perpetrators to justice.
He, however, enjoined the indigenes of the community to be law-abiding and assist the security forces in their investigations to unravel those behind the gruesome killing.
“The killing of innocent souls of the community by unscrupulous elements under government forces is needless.
“These same criminal elements have continued to unleash terror in the community through their agents that they have armed with dangerous weapons to do their bidding whenever they desire.”
The ex-agitator, said that they had yet to recover from the outcome of the siege mounted in Igbomotoru leading to the brazen killing of more than 50 persons in the community on March 27, 2024.
Amagbein described the slain CDC chairman as a man of peace, who was committed to the development of the Igbomotoru community.
“I am pained by the news of the death of the CDC chairman because he was vibrant and committed to the peace and progress of Igbomotoru,” he said.
He described the killing as reprehensible and needless.
