calm down..

some years back, i seen a situation where armed robbers did a drive-by at unarmed road safety officials..

Arm robbers have been doing drive by at unarmed civilians for years, does that mean civilians should now be armed?

Arms are for forces doing or engaging in arrests. Road safety does not arrest people.

Road safety don't use guns or any weapons at dat. He probably used d rifle to pose for a photograph considering the parked police van nxt to theirs. They don't need guns to check vehicle license and registration.
just my thought too.

I think u mistook the road safety approval for civil defence. Like I said earlier he is probably posing for a photo with a policeman's rifle. See d police van parked nxt to theirs. Road safety won't get to start using rifles without doing enough public sensitization.
nah.. I was in the guards brigade, asokoro when I saw a letter from presidency approving it...

Dis one is not welcome anything ooo. because if dey need guns, then VIO go soon need gun and den yellow fever follows and den all hell breaks loose on our roads. What dey need is to improve on some innovations and their rapid response. Get them more vehicles especially ambulances if possible. Since dey are mostly the first responders to accident scenes, dey could save more lives with EMT training.

What's so bad in a paramilitary going around on duty with an assault rifle. That's just AK47, what if it were to be an RPG?
Re: Road Safety Officer Carrying Guns? (see Photo) by Nobody: 5:03pm On Feb 29, 2016
If this is true, then get ready to see cases of FRSC officials abusing and murdering civilians in cold blood. Same way Nigerian Customs went beserk the minute they were issued guns. Now they drive recklessly, run motorists right off the road at times and even committ murder at will.

FRSC have been authorized and trained to carry arms. It started since last year during their last recruitment.

Lie! They did arms training but the law doesn't allow them and they don't carry guns. In fact not even a handcuff or baton.

Wetin assault inside that raffle wey the bullets no go pass 10

Yu call 10 bullets only? Do yu know that a single bullet can kill 10 people? Even a half bullet from an AK47 is not a joke. It's a high assault rifle.

If my memories aren't twinging from what i recall, the Nigerian law doesn't allow Federal Road Safety Commission staffs to use gun. How come he get to carry one? The Facebook user who shared the photo online spotted the man on a busy road wielding the rife. View photo below...

http://www.queensnewsblog.com/2016/02/road-safety-start-carrying-guns-see.html

That gun will render roads less safe for users. What irony.

Acidosis:
It takes heavy courage to stand on the road without a gun. How would they defend themselves when attacked?

NDLEA officers use rifles on the road, so I think certain FRSC officers need to be armed.

NDLEA are after dangerous criminals. FrSC are after traffic offenders. Wetin consain ak47 with fire extinguisher? cheesy grin
