The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) said that none of its employees have begun carrying firearms while on patrol or performing other official tasks.
This was said by the Corps Public Education Officer (CPEO) FRSC, Mr. Bisi Kazeem, on behalf of the Acting Corps Marshal, FRSC Mr. Dauda Biu.
In light of the camera-captured image of an agent carrying weapons while appearing to be on official business, Biu claimed that the information had become extremely relevant.
“The viral news should be completely ignored because it’s just an old, recycled photo of an overly enthusiastic employee who, out of adoration and ignorance, posed with a gun belonging to a sister agency’s worker in 2018.
“The aforementioned staff has since received punishment in accordance with the Corps’s current maintenance of discipline.
Officials are not now armed, so he advised the public to ignore the false information spreading online.
The FRSC boss also urged the people to stop believing these false representations as the Corps remained dedicated to securing everyone’s safety on the roadways.
