Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has denied a media report (not LEADERSHIP) that it sought the permission of the federal government to allow its personnel to bear arms on the heels of the insecurity challenge in the country.
In a terse statement yesterday titled, “Re – Insecurity: FRSC Seeks FG’s Permission To Bear Arms,” and signed by the assistant corps marshal, Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem, a copy of which was sent to LEADERSHIP, he said the erroneous report does not reflect the current position of the Corps Marshal, Dauda Ali Biu, and the management team of FRSC.
“The attention of the FRSC has just been drawn to a report that the Corps Marshal is seeking the permission of the Federal Government for the personnel of the Corps to bear arms.
“The said erroneous statement credited to the representative of the Corps Marshal at the Passing Out Parade of Cadets at the Nigerian Army Training Centre (NATRAC), Kotangora, Niger State, does not reflect the current position of the Corps Marshal and the management team.
“Members of the public should, therefore, take note,” the FRSC spokesperson stated.
