FRSC Clarifies Position On Request To Carry Guns
The Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, has clarified position on the request it reportedly made that its officers should be allowed to carry guns.
Recalled that the Deputy Corps Marshal, Mr. Shehu Zaki, had reportedly submitted on Saturday that considering the current security challenges in the country, FRSC officers should be allowed to carry guns while carrying out their duties.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Assistant Corps Marshal and Corps Public Education Officer, Mr. Bisi Kazeem has however in a statement he issued on Sunday urged the general public to disregard the media reports in question.
‘The attention of the FRSC has just been drawn to media reports that the Corps Marshal is seeking the permission of the Federal Government that the personnel of the Corps should bear arms.
The erroneous statement credited to the representative of the Corps Marshal at the Passing Out Parade of Cadets at the Nigerian Army Training Centre, Kontagora, Niger State, does not reflect the current position of the Corps Marshal and the management team.
Members of the public should therefore take note’ he said-Team@orientactualmags.com
