The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has terminated the services of 43 personnel for offences ranging from desertion to scandalous behaviour and patrol-related misconduct, according to a statement released on Thursday.
Signed by the Assistant Corps Marshal and Corps Public Education Officer, Olusegun Ogungbemide, the statement said that the affected officers include 31 dismissed for desertion, five for scandalous behaviour, and seven for patrol-related misconduct.
The FRSC described the action as a firm message that the FRSC badge symbolizes honour and responsibility, emphasizing that any officer who violates the standards of the Corps will face the full disciplinary consequences.
Corps Marshal Reaffirms Zero-Tolerance Policy
The Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, described the decision as a bold reaffirmation of the Corps’ zero-tolerance stance against indiscipline and ethical violations. He stressed that the FRSC remains a professional, paramilitary organisation guided by strict operational standards and will not tolerate any conduct that undermines public trust, institutional integrity, or the Corps’ objectives.
“Desertion represents a grave breach of service oath and operational responsibility, particularly in a safety-critical organisation entrusted with protecting the lives of millions of road users daily,” Mohammed said. He further noted that scandalous behaviour and patrol misconduct erode public confidence and contradict the values of discipline, transparency, and service excellence upheld by the Corps.
Commitment to Ethical Standards and Public Trust
The FRSC assured Nigerians that it will intensify internal monitoring, strengthen supervisory frameworks, and promote ethical reorientation across all commands nationwide. The Corps also urged the motoring public to sustain confidence in its mandate and continue supporting safer road initiatives.
