FRSC Denies Seeking FG’s Permission to Bear Arms

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has vehemently dismissed speculations surrounding its purported quest for permission from the federal government to carry firearms. The Assistant Corps Marshal and Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem, has urged the public to disregard these claims.

Kazeem clarified the situation by stating, “The attention of the FRSC has just been drawn to a report that the Corps Marshal is seeking the permission of the Federal Government for the personnel of the Corps to bear arms.”

He continued, “The said erroneous statement credited to the representative of the Corps Marshal at the Passing Out Parade of Cadets at the Nigerian Army Training Centre (NATRAC), Kotangora, Niger State, does not reflect the current position of the Corps Marshal and the management team.”

In light of these developments, Kazeem emphasized, “Members of the public should, therefore, take note.”

This statement from the FRSC aims to clear any misconceptions and assures the public that they are not seeking authorization to arm their personnel. The organization remains dedicated to its mission of ensuring road safety without resorting to firearms.
