The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has dismissed 43 personnel from service over offences ranging from desertion to scandalous conduct and patrol misconduct.
The decision was announced in a statement issued on Thursday by the Corps Public Education Officer, Assistant Corps Marshal Olusegun Ogungbemide.
According to the statement, 31 officers were dismissed for desertion, five for scandalous behaviour, and seven for patrol-related misconduct.
“This action, just like others of its kind, sends an unequivocal message because the FRSC badge is a symbol of honour and responsibility.
Any officer who chooses to violate the standards of this noble institution will face the full weight of the Corps’ disciplinary machinery,” the statement read.
Zero Tolerance for Indiscipline
The Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, described the dismissals as a bold reaffirmation of the agency’s zero-tolerance policy against indiscipline and ethical violations.
He stressed that the FRSC, as a professional paramilitary organisation, operates under strict operational standards and would not tolerate any behaviour capable of undermining public trust, institutional integrity or its statutory objectives.
The Corps noted that desertion constitutes a serious breach of service oath and operational duty, particularly for an agency tasked with safeguarding millions of road users daily.
It added that scandalous conduct and patrol misconduct directly erode public confidence and contradict the Corps’ core values of discipline, transparency and service excellence.
The FRSC reiterated its commitment to upholding professionalism and accountability within its ranks.
