Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) operatives
will begin to bear firearms to curtail the
excesses of road users in Nigeria.

The House of Representatives Committee on
FRSC made the disclosure during the corps’
2020 budget performance and 2021 budget
defence, on Thursday in Abuja.

The Chairman, Akinfolarin Mayowa, explained
that the 1992 Act of FRSC allowed the corps to
carry guns, NAN reports.

Mayowa said the implementation had become
necessary to ensure laws were obeyed and to
allow the FRSC function effectively.

He disclosed that the committee would meet
with Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, Boss Mustapha, and also write to
President Muhammadu Buhari to implement the
Act

A member, Solomon Maren, added that the
committee would discuss the matter with the
Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu.

The lawmaker said there were more risks on the
roads, adding that the FRSC should now bear
arms.

FRSC Corps Marshal, Boboye Oyeyemi, decried
incidents where motorists threatened personnel
on duty.

Oyeyemi stressed that weapon bearing for
protection would curtail violent road users and
protect officers.

He confirmed that the corps has 280
formations, with presence in nearly all the 774
local government areas in Nigeria.

Upcoming SARS!
Your car documents on gun point!
Nigeria needs to be sold out.

They should also ask NYSC to carry guns, Afterall herdsmen are carrying theirs.

Omo, they would be worse.

But up to the police sha.
Cos civil defense dey carry gun, but are more matured than the police

Allowing FRSC to carry gun? They'll be worse than SARS

Frsc don't need guns.. I don't know why our reps always like to create problems for us.. They already work in hand with the army and police and that alone is enough.. Every agency mustn't bear gun.. Nigerian leaders no de ever think well bc they feel immune

What the fvck..I think we've had enough gunmen already

Make una kuku legalise am make everybody carry him own nah, which kind nonsense be this..

Seriously is sickening

In a country with so much lawlessness and brutality, there is bound to be more guns in the public domain.

Good News

Nigerians fear gun.

About 10 officers of the FRSC have been killed by hit and run also we shouldnt forget those FRSC officers that have been endangered by lawless Nigerians.

You all are complaining about Guns and FRSC, if you Nigerians were law abiding ciizens, will there be need for these officers to carry guns
