The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has disengaged 43 personnel from service over offences bordering on desertion, scandalous behaviour, and patrol-related misconduct.
In a press statement signed by the Assistant Corps Marshal and Corps Public Education Officer, Olusegun Ogungbemide, on Thursday, the Corps said the affected officers comprise 31 dismissed for desertion, five for scandalous behaviour, and seven for patrol-related misconduct.
The Corps said the action sends an unequivocal message because the FRSC badge is a symbol of honour and responsibility, noting that any officer who chooses to violate the standards of the institution will face the full weight of the Corps’ disciplinary machinery.
The Corps Marshal, FRSC, Shehu Mohammed, described the decision as a bold reaffirmation of the Corps’ zero tolerance stance against indiscipline and ethical violations.
He stressed that the Corps remains a professional, paramilitary organisation guided by strict operational standards, and will not condone any behaviour capable of undermining public trust, institutional integrity, or the objectives of the Corps.
Mohammed said desertion represents 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 also noted that scandalous behaviour and patrol misconduct erode public confidence and contradict the values of discipline, transparency, and service excellence upheld by the Corps.
FRSC assured Nigerians that it will intensify internal monitoring, strengthen supervisory frameworks, and promote ethical reorientation across all commands nationwide, while urging the motoring public to sustain confidence in the Corps and continue supporting its mandate of safer roads.
