“The corps marshal of Federal Road Safety Corps, Dauda Ali Biu, has directed the immediate recall of the patrol team that was captured on camera behaving in a manner, tantamount to incivility against a member of the public within Egbeda unit command general operational area,” the statement reads.
“The provocative act as captured on camera is a complete contravention of the Federal Road Safety Corps’ standard operating procedures for officers on patrol operations.”
He stated that FRSC is an ISO certified organisation that does not condone indiscipline or compromise standards when it comes to rendering service to the public. As such all necessary disciplinary actions recommended will be administered appropriately.
