The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has sacked 18 officers from its workforce after they were found culpable for various crimes.
A series of tweets by the agency on Saturday say, “Eight officers were dismissed, the appointments of 10 others were terminated, the ranks of five personnel were reduced, while the remaining five officers were demoted. The erring officers committed various offences of desertion, forgery, number plate racketeering, bribery, scandalous behaviour, driver’s license racketeering, and patrol misconduct, among others”,
Bisi Kazeem, the Corps Public Education Officer, explained that “the agency’s board on Friday approved the punishments, which were in accordance with the provisions of the FRSC Regulation on Discipline, as part of an organised effort to rid it of indiscipline and corrupt elements.”
While re-emphasising the need for personnel to desist from any act of indiscipline, Kazeem stressed that the disciplinary actions were to serve as a deterrent to others who may form the habit of contravening established regulations and tarnishing the good image of the FRSC.
