FRSC BOSS RECALLS PATROL TEAM CAUGHT IN VIRAL VIDEO ASSAULTING MOTORIST (VIDEO)
The corps marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Dauda Biu, has ordered the immediate ‘recall of a patrol team over the incivility to a motorist’ in Osun State.
This was contained in a statement released on Wednesday in Abuja by the corps public education officer, ACM Bisi Kazeem.
This development came following videos making rounds on social media of an officer hitting a motorist who queried him for breaking his windscreen.
“You slapped me; I didn’t do anything to you; you broke my windscreen, Mr MJ Oni.” the driver said in the video.
A video of the broken windscreen was also shared, as others at the scene also queried the officer for damaging the windscreen.
The FRSC boss said the behaviour of the Egbeda Unit Command patrol team, as captured on camera, was a complete contravention of the FRSC standard operating procedure.
“In that regard, I have directed the Corps Intelligence Office, as well as the Corps Provost Office, to commence with immediate effect, a full and comprehensive investigation.
“We need to know the entire circumstances that propelled the officer into the uncivil act and make necessary recommendations for swift administrative action,” he said.
According to Biu, FRSC was an ISO-certified organisation that does not condone indiscipline or compromise in standards regarding rendering public service.
“All necessary disciplinary actions recommended will be administered appropriately,” he said.
