Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has disengaged 43 personnel from its service over various disciplinary offences.
The affected officers include 31 dismissed for desertion, five for scandalous behaviour, and seven for patrol-related professional misconduct.
The Corps described the action as a clear message that the FRSC badge remains a symbol of honour and responsibility.
” Any officer who chooses to violate the standards of this noble institution will face the full weight of the Corps’ disciplinary machinery,” the statement read.
Speaking on the development in Abuja, the FRSC Corps Marshal, Mallam Shehu Mohammed, described the move as a bold reaffirmation of the Corps’ zero-tolerance stance against indiscipline and ethical violations.
He stressed that the FRSC, as a professional paramilitary organisation guided by strict operational standards, will not condone any behaviour capable of undermining public trust, institutional integrity, or its statutory mandate.
According to the Corps Marshal, desertion constitutes a grave breach of service oath and operational responsibility, particularly in a safety-critical organisation entrusted with protecting the lives of millions of road users daily.
He added that scandalous behaviour and patrol misconduct directly erode public confidence and contradict the Corps’ core values of discipline, transparency, and service excellence.
Mallam Mohammed reassured Nigerians that the FRSC will intensify internal monitoring, strengthen supervisory frameworks, and promote ethical reorientation across all commands nationwide.
He maintained that the management remains committed to building a professional workforce driven by integrity, discipline, and operational excellence.
The Corps Marshal urged the motoring public to sustain their confidence in the FRSC and continue supporting its mandate of ensuring safer roads for all.
