| FRSC To Establish Special Armed Squad by MisterGrace(op): 9:39am On Dec 13, 2024 |
The House of Representatives is advancing efforts to reposition the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) with proposed amendments to the FRSC Act, 2007, including the establishment of a special armed squad. Highlights of the Public Hearing: Objective of the Amendment: 1. The bill seeks to introduce reforms that align with Nigeria's evolving security needs and enhance the FRSC's operational capacity. 2. Emphasis on stricter penalties for road offenses to ensure better compliance and safeguard FRSC personnel. Rationale for Arming FRSC Personnel: 1. FRSC Corps Marshal Shehu Mohammed highlighted the vulnerability of officers, noting instances of attacks, including killings, by criminals during road safety and rescue missions. 2. Mohammed argued that arming FRSC personnel could act as a deterrent to criminal activities on highways, improving both safety and security. Stakeholder Support: 1. Key stakeholders in the transport sector endorsed the proposal for a special armed squad, calling for its swift implementation. 2. The consensus was that equipping the FRSC with arms is overdue and necessary for addressing contemporary security challenges. Chairman’s Perspective: Mr. Abiodun Adesida, Chairman of the House Committee on FRSC, emphasized the need for innovation in road safety enforcement, stating that the move marks a turning point for the agency. Implications: The proposal, if passed, could significantly alter the scope of FRSC operations, allowing officers to respond more effectively to highway security threats while potentially reshaping public perceptions of road safety enforcement in Nigeria. However, concerns over implementation, training, and the proper use of firearms will need to be addressed to ensure the program's success.Source: https://thebureau.com.ng/frsc-to-establish-special-armed-squad/

Do you mean another extortion team? Can you explain how the proposed armed squad is the solution to officers being killed? Will the squad be more armed than custom officers that get killed at borders? Are the roads not the same ones filled with armed soldiers and police officers who often either share checkpoints with the road safety officers or station their own checkpoints very close to those of the road safety officers? Considering how the officers harass road users, is lack of arms for the officers the major problem of the ministry? 3 Likes |

Snake001:Negative based on reality or based on your biased perception? 1. If you are not a snake as your username implies, can you explain how the proposed armed squad is the solution to officers being killed? Will the squad be more armed than custom officers that get killed at borders? Are the roads not the same ones filled with armed soldiers and police officers who often either share checkpoints with the road safety officers or station their own checkpoints very close to those of the road safety officers? 2.
