FRSC Dismisses 43 Personnel Over Desertion, Scandalous Conduct, Patrol Misconduct

The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has taken decisive disciplinary action by disengaging forty-three (43) personnel from its service over offences bordering on desertion, scandalous conduct, and patrol-related misconduct.

The affected officers include thirty-one (31) dismissed for desertion, five (5) for scandalous behaviour, and seven (7) for patrol-related misconduct.

The action underscores the Corps’ unwavering commitment to discipline and professionalism. It sends a clear and unequivocal message that the FRSC badge remains a symbol of honour, integrity, and responsibility. Any officer who violates the standards of the Corps will face the full weight of its disciplinary machinery.

The Corps Marshal, FRSC, Shehu Mohammed, mni, described the move as a bold reaffirmation of the Corps’ zero-tolerance stance against indiscipline and ethical violations.

He emphasised that the FRSC, as a professional paramilitary organisation guided by strict operational standards, will not condone any behaviour capable of undermining public trust, institutional integrity, or the Corps’ mandate.

According to the Corps Marshal, desertion constitutes 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. He further noted that scandalous conduct and patrol misconduct erode public confidence and contradict the core values of discipline, transparency, and service excellence upheld by the Corps.

The FRSC reassured Nigerians that it will continue to strengthen internal monitoring mechanisms, enhance supervisory frameworks, and promote ethical reorientation across all Commands nationwide. The Corps Management remains resolute in building a professional workforce driven by integrity, discipline, and operational excellence.

The Corps therefore calls on the motoring public to sustain their confidence in the FRSC and continue supporting its mandate of ensuring safer roads for all.
