Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has disassociated itself from rumours making the rounds that its personnel have started carrying arms.
Assistant Corps Marshal, Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem, said in Abuja on Sunday that personnel of the Commission have not started carrying guns or any other firearms whether on patrol or any other official duty.
He explained that the information becomes very pertinent following the image of an operative who was captured on camera carrying firearms in a position that suggests he was on official duty.
“The viral report should be disregarded in totality as it’s just but an old and re-circulated image of an overzealous staff who posed with a rifle belonging to a sister agency’s staff in admiration and ignorance in 2018.
The said staff has since been punished according to the existing maintenance of discipline of the Corps.
The Acting Corps Marshal, Dauda Ali Biu while reacting to the image that is been re-circulated has stated that officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps do not currently carry arms and advise members of the public should disregard the image being re-circulated.
The public is by this publication called to desist from believing such fake images as the Corps continues in committing itself to making the roads safer for all to use.
