The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) on Thursday dismissed 43 officers for offences including desertion, scandalous behaviour, patrol misconduct.
In a statement, the Corps Public Education Officer, Olusegun Ogungbemide, said 31 officers were dismissed for desertion, five for scandalous conduct, and seven for patrol-related misconduct.
“This decisive action sends a strong message. The FRSC badge is a symbol of honour and responsibility. Any officer who violates the standards of this noble institution will face the full weight of the Corps’ disciplinary machinery,” the statement said.
The Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, described the dismissals as a reaffirmation of the organization’s zero-tolerance stance on indiscipline and ethical violations.
He warned that desertion was a serious breach of the service oath, while scandalous behaviour and patrol misconduct eroded public trust and undermined the Corps’ values of discipline, transparency, and service.
“The FRSC is a professional paramilitary organization. We will not condone any behaviour capable of undermining public confidence, institutional integrity, or the objectives of the Corps,” Mohammed added.
The FRSC, responsible for road safety management in Nigeria, has consistently emphasized professionalism, accountability, and ethical conduct, particularly during patrol operations and service delivery.
The latest dismissals followed internal investigations and are in line with the Corps’ zero-tolerance policy on misconduct.
